[QUOTE="Scott F, post: 456024, member: 23059"] If I had to guess, the guy who added that stuff, had a leak he may not have been able to find so he coated the entire boat to be sure he got that leak and any more that might show up. In my experience, trying to seal leaks from the inside is not the best method. When you do that, the water has already gotten in the boat and will find a way to get through the patch, usually running between the coating an the hull until it finds a weak point and comes through. If it’s not leaking now, you might just leave it alone. Removing the Rubberseal will cause you to have to repair whatever leaks the coating is covering up. Long term, fixing the leaks correctly is probably the best way to go. [/QUOTE]
