[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 390425, member: 15636"] As far as sealant goes, some tin boat makers put a strip of 3M vinyl foam tape between adjoining plates before riveting. While I see that, it does look like that hull sustained damage. It could have hit right on the end and the pieces 'sprung' at that point, or maybe the hull was left w/ the drain plug in and it filled with water and froze? Whereas the surface turns to ice first, that could explain why perhaps a seam that far up the hull 'popped'. I wouldn't say the hull is a goner, but I'd sure take a real good hands-on look at it before commiting. Hey, duh (to me ... , not you ...) - did you ask him about it??? Oh and WELCOME BACK :mrgreen: ! [/QUOTE]
