That rusty metal you were seeing is foam on the inside of the hull. Feels dry in that small section not that that means much. Thats the area thats getting the patch. I apreciate the video on how to do it correctly. It was my understanding that pop rivets leak on there own but I thought when you combine them with the 5200 it wont leak. I poked arround the hull especialy around any corrosion and no soft spots. I think the corrosion is on the outside. When I got the boat a lot of the bottom coating was very flakey and had water traped behind it. I think this traped water is what caused most of the corrosion. Today im finishing up most of the paint removal. I coated the outside edge with the smart strip pro and paper and let it sit 24 hours. Hit it with the pressurewasher and knocked most of it off.  Ive got a bit of touch up but it makes more sense to do that with the grinder. I want to knock off all the corrosion anyway. Im going to pull the boat off the tarp and let everything dry out. Ill get some better pictures of the underside then.</p></blockquote><p></p>
