From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Re: catalina27-talk: Aluminum boat repairDate: Wed, 15 Aug 2007 17:53:20 -0500 A buddies 12 or 13 foot Jon boat fell out of the back of his truck on the way to the fishing hole a couple of years ago. The boat suffered a "puncture wound" (teardrop shape aprox. 1"x3") below the waterline. As Keith was in the "boonies" there was no marine store but he did find a hardware store. The "wound" was patched w/ a Budweiser can, some sheet metal screws and some alum. gutter sealant. It worked fine for the next few fishing trips 'till he could get it to a welding shop.

A Girl Scout camp I volunteer at has 3 Sears aluminum construction rowboats (Gamefishers) which have been run upon rocks and beaches too many times and are starting to leak. They are of riveted construction with caulking between the sheets of metal, and mostly seem to be leaking in the bow areas. Inspection doesn't show pinholes or metal cracking, but some rivets and seams look suspicious. I could try to reset the rivets, but I suspect that the caulk is as much at fault as the loose metal, since these are at least ten years old. Any ideas about good repair methods?
