[QUOTE="Brine, post: 146580, member: 1053"] Welcome aboard carguy. $80 for an aluminum boat is a good buy =D> About the leaks, before and after you clean up the patch that didn't work, you may want to take some close up photos of the areas. There is more than one way to fix a leak. Are these holes caused by corrosion? Screws? etc.... Are you sure they are holes and not slits/tears? Many folks have had success using an aluminum epoxy (JB Weld type product) and some would prefer to drill out the hole to accept the next biggest size rivet with some sealant (3M 5200) as an example, and some would want it welded. Good luck, and nice find! [/QUOTE]
