[QUOTE="Scout27, post: 288992, member: 5117"] Just had some time to read thru most of your build. Great ideas and great work. Regarding the leak at the bow, that crack may extend lower than you can even see. I know that you can't see the back side of the V bow from inside the boat. It might be worthwhile to pull off the vertical panel, put the dogs or your buddy on the front deck and look under there with a good light while in the water. It may show you the length or limit of the cracked seam, or if there is another. A bent aluminum panel, 3"-4" in each direction, in the length you need, slotted for the bow eye, "eased" or rounded edges and painted to match the boat, could be attached with sealant, pressed and held in place. Trim off the excess selanat with a razor blade and you've got a finished product. Done it before and it worked out great. Just an idea for you. Enjoyed reasing the thread. Thanks for taking the time to document the build. [/QUOTE]
