"Doug" "Man does it take in the water, I got a bilge pump in it and have to
kick it on about every hour and it'll dump about 7 or 8 gallons of water
out. I have a deck in it so I don't really see it till I get in the back and
hit the bilge. I flipped it over and man, it's ugly."
Put an automatic switch on the bilge pump and you won't have to worry about
flipping it on every hour. I don't know if I would put a spray on bed liner
like Rhino liner on the outside of the boat. It will also add weight to the
boat that you may not won't.
Try putting the boat up on saw horses or blocks and adding just enough water
to fill the bottom of the floor. Lay underneath and look for where the
leaks are coming from. Mark the leaks with a marker. If the leaks are
coming from a rivet, you can try to change out the rivet with a stainless
steel bolt, washer and nut. Use a marine silicon sealer between the rivet
and the outside of the boat by filing the hole with sealant before inserting
the bolt and tightening down. If it is welded you can have the crack or
hole welded.
