I bought this for $100. Needs a lot of TLC. It's a 12ft. Duratech and I was told 1951. Has about 1/2 dozen slow leaks, mostly on the floor. Has one somewhat faster leak on the floor in the corner where the transom and floor join up. As you can see in the picture, I have 1 broken floor brace. I'm thinking about replacing all the rivets in the bottom, and hopefully that should take care of the leaking problems. I was thinking of going the glovit route, but the research consensus seems to say that replacing rivets is the proper fix, please correct me if I'm wrong. Any and ALL advise, comments are welcome as this is my first restoration attempt. Can anything be done about that big dent in the bow? Thanks for your time, Joe.
