[QUOTE="LDUBS, post: 520340, member: 21536"] Well, you have received some potentially discouraging feedback. At least you know what to watch for. Something else I wonder about is the area with all the 1/16 - 1/8 pin holes. Is the hull skin in that area still solid? If you poked that area with a screwdriver, is it solid?. If not, then I would say it is time to throw in the towel. ' Otherwise, take pic's and post your progress. This forum is all about watching someone bring a tin boat back to life. [USER=3438]@FuzzyGrub[/USER] 's makes a good point about a patch using pop rivets. The link below is to a video of a guy making a patch on the transom. One of the key points is to fully butter the patch with sealant. He put it on pretty thick, but not so thick the rivets won't fit. He also dipped the rivets in the sealant before installing them.
