Hi all,
I'm new to the site & I would like to say, this is place has alot to offer.
My question is, my 1972 starcraft falcon,which is an aluminum boat leaks like a sive from the starboard side of the boat. I gutted it, filled it with water, and watched it rain.
Can I rehammer all the rivets down again and then coat it from the inside or should I coat it from the outside. The reason I'm asking about coating it from the inside is because of the origanal paint. Its a 1972 starcraft orange thats in very good shape inside & out, and would like to keep it as origanal as possible.

The rivets can be rebucked,+ Glu-vit painted onto the Inside....

What Bond-o said. Gluv-it on the inside is the right way to do it (after tightening what rivets you can).
