[QUOTE="thacyko, post: 376063, member: 16697"] Barefoot, Thanks for the input, I didn't even think of putting ribs on the inside to reinforce the bottom. A couple more questions: Are the original strakes watertight? Would i have to seal the repairs? is it critical to keep water out? and if so should i fill them with foam? Also did the original boat have calking or sealer on the riveted seams? I think i may try to add some to the existing strakes first before cutting them and adding the ones inside. Also i am removing all the added calk that a previous owner put on the seams, I might add G-flex epoxy to the seams to watertight them before painting. So far from reading through it looks like the wetlander paint is high recommended. Does it also help seal the seams? and would it work better then a traditional bottom hull paint. THANKS, David [/QUOTE]
