just last week i purchased a 14 ft polark jon boat for a local guy off of craigslist. i could tell the bat was ruff and would be a project so i got it to keep myself busy for the winter. the last owner removed the middle jump seat which made the walls flex and rivits to leak. this boat was repainted it looks to be 3 times becaus i can see 2 shades of green and a ugly grey like color on the botom.
so my question is how can i stop the leaks? ive seen a couple of people say they used a soldering gun, then some say gluvit but my problem with gluvit is i have so much paint on it already how do i know it wont peal off too. if the boat flexes again will the gluvit leak? and what about rihno lineing the inside of the boat; not the outside because it will be used in the river over logs and such.
