Message: <blockquote data-quote="sss" data-source="post: 465320" data-attributes="member: 24673">Took my new to me 1950s Lone Star Corsair out for a leak test with my 8 year old son yesterday. Went great! First time in the boat, paddled around for about an hour and a half. Only had maybe 1/4 to 1/2 cup of water come in. Very stable also, able to stand easily on all the benches, decks should be no problem. Great potential for this boat.I had a few rivets that saw seeping, marked them to rebuck.I think most was wicking through the seams where the gunnels attach to the bottom. The seams stayed wet, but I couldn’t identify which rivets need tightening.What’s the best way to seal the seam? Take it down to bare metal and use 3m 5200 along the interior seam?Any better ideas or methods?</blockquote>
