I just purchased a 1989 spectrum 1700 and I am replacing the floor, I have 4 riviots that are leaking, I have read some great post on what to use to fix them from the inside but I was wondering if anyone has a construction diagram of this boat? I hope that I can fix it from the inside.

Welcome to iboats! Buck those rivets then use Gluvit on the rivets inside and all the seams visit the restoration section ;)

Construction diagram? Nope, not likely.

Moving this to the resto forum.

Post some pix of what you're working on.

Okay thanks for the tip, can I see the seams when the floor is removed?

Wulff....welcome!

Yes once you remove the rotten (assuming on that) flooring you will find pockets of spray in foam and under that the seams and rivets will all be revealed. From there you can buck the rivets, and apply Gluvit or Coat-It type products to seal the leaks. It is important (IMHO) that you clean the surface well and remove any oily substances where you want the sealant materials to stick.

Good luck, take photos and share your progress!
