Probably get some use out of it like that but you will be doing it again. Best way and will probably last you many years, from the inside clean and dry the entire nose Keel strip joints with acetone, apply Gluvit to the seams and rivet tails. Once it cures, SE primer and paint if it will be in the sun, if you plan to deck and carpet it, you don't need to paint it. Gluvit will break down in the sun. The nose Keel has caused many leak issues on many boats, this is the usual approach to repairing it. Nice boat, enjoy the build.</blockquote>
