Default Re: hull leaking

Considering a lot of our boats are 30-40 years old and depending on how often they were fished, how the trailer is/was set up and the amount of beachings, they will wear through the keel to the keelson (the wood inside the boat that is glassed over)...either way it's nothing a some grinding and glass can't fix...I found it's best to leave the boat parked nose down for a days to let the water drain out, then nose up for a day...then do some grinding...then lay up some 1708/1808 in reverse order...from your largest piece to your smallest, rub area to receive glass with acetone good a couple times to remove some water...then paint with some more resin, and apply patch...not to hard or to expensive...good luck :-)
