Skip: What you need is as close as your nearest WM. They call it "inflatable sealant" and the gang at my boatyard all say it's the only one to get. The cheaper ones just don't work. I bought two tubes of it, but haven't used it yet. The boat is in FL and I'm in IN. Bummer!
Here's a link: http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/producte/10001/-1/10001/39520/377%20710/0/tube%20seal/Secondary%20Search/mode%20matchallpartial/0/0?N=377710&Ne=0&Ntt=tube seal&Ntk=Primary Search&Ntx=mode matchallpartial&Nao=0&Ns=0&keyword=tube seal&isLTokenURL=true&storeNum=5005&subdeptNum=10&classNum=133 Yes, it's pricey at $60 per bottle, but a lot cheaper than a new dink. If you use it, let us know how it worked. I noticed that the "reviews" for it on the WM website were all very favorable. Maybe I'm just too cynical, but I always wonder who writes those reviews.
