Well I took mine to a place that fixes them and they said there was no hope. It was a 5 year old Tropic.
First thing is you have to know is it PVC or Hypalon? The procedure and materials are totally different. Actually that is probably the worst thing with inflatables is the floors. Much less of an issue with a hard bottom. I tried the stuff they sell at west for the PVC dinks and it worked great... Until I inflated the boat. Bottom fell right back out again. That was when I took it to the repair place. They actually said they could fix it. For $1500.00. The 10' Port-a-bote with the nice after hurricane special they were running cost me $1100 to the door. Anyway. Try the repair stuff and if it works great. If not chances are you are going to be shopping for a new dink.

Just expressing that because of the way inflatable boats fall apart that a Port-a-bote is a good alternative. _______________________________________________ Liveaboard mailing list [email protected] To adjust your membership settings over the web http://www.liveaboardnow.org/mailman/listinfo/liveaboard To subscribe send an email to [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] The archives are at http://www.liveaboardnow.org/pipermail/liveaboard/ To search the archives http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] The Mailman Users Guide can be found here http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman-member/index.html _______________________________________________ Liveaboard mailing list [email protected] To adjust your membership settings over the web http://www.liveaboardnow.org/mailman/listinfo/liveaboard To subscribe send an email to [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] The archives are at http://www.liveaboardnow.org/pipermail/liveaboard/ To search the archives http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] The Mailman Users Guide can be found here http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman-member/index.html
