[QUOTE="nbw2019, post: 468234, member: 25039"] First post! Came across this forum because I inherited my grand dad's '72 14' Mirrocraft Deep Fisherman. It's all original with Turquoise paint. Seems in pretty good shape for its age. I'm looking at rehabbing it enough to continue to get a lot of use out of it on the lakes of NH, ME, and MA. I took the seats out, cleaned out many years of debris that had collected in it (hadn't been used since '94) but had been garaged for all but the last year or so. Wanted to check for leaks so I put some water in it while its on the trailer. The only leak I spotted was a slow weep that seemed to be coming from the area of the bow where it starts curve up. Doesn't seem to be coming from a rivet but I think its from the seam. It looks like there is some sort of caulk applied in this seam and there's about a 1in section of caulk that is missing. [img]https://i.imgur.com/Ct77IoB.jpg[/img] Any thoughts on what that caulk is? Seems to be from the factory. View inside with water: [img]https://i.imgur.com/AYHFq8P.jpg[/img] Close up of damaged seam [img]https://i.imgur.com/oNcNTsQ.jpg[/img] Seam on other side with evidence of leaking [img]https://i.imgur.com/Sc3hVQF.jpg[/img] Other than that she was holding water. Thoughts on the best way to approach this? Thanks! -Noah [/QUOTE]
