[QUOTE="thill, post: 496867, member: 4972"] I've had a number of older boats. If they don't leak a drop, you are good! If you have a leaky rivet or two, mark them and then "buck" them by holding a hammer on the inside or outside, and hit the rivet firmly from the opposite side to set it a little more firmly. One or two strikes is all you need. No need to flatten the thing out. You could go through using epoxy, gluvit, flex seal, and a bunch of other goop, but if it doesn't leak, then why buy something that isn't needed? Fixing what ain't broke, as they say? [/QUOTE]
