[QUOTE="TMO8413, post: 513678, member: 9020"] Once the weather turns nice (maybe soon? Never?) here in New England I’d like to get started on my 13’ Duranautic Coastie. First is addressing the bottom of the boat. It’s bare metal and the seams have already been filled with either marine/JB weld. I don’t have any reason to think the boat leaks (previous owner said it didn’t) but I was thinking of just sealing the entire bottom with Gluvit. If you look at the middle seam starting at the stern it looks like there’s been some serious welding and has me a bit worried. First - is applying it to the entire bottom necessary or should I just epoxy over the seams? I was thinking applying it to the entire bottom would just give me piece of mind and protection moving forward. Second - is there an alternative to Gluvit that gets the job done? Man, at almost $80 it sure is expensive. Thanks all![ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_4926.jpeg"]120147[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
