But I've had the "Tin-Can" for almost 14 years. It has served me quite well. I've seen much older Lunds similar to mine that are still on the water. But being a riveted hull (Lund) it has begun to have a minor hull leak from what I guess to be rivets starting to loosen. I know it isn't from my plug leaking, and the leak isn't real severe but after a couple hours on the water, I can see water coming up in the plug well, to within about 2 inches of the deck. I hit the bilge pump, and it pumps the water out very quickly.I used to seal mine with an epoxy made for repairing airplane wings. It was bulletproof. Ran it for years and sold the boat with no leaks. I can't recall where I got it, but you might be able to find it online...
But I'm thinking that maybe at the end of the season this coming fall, I would like to get my hull sealed somehow. From the inside under the deck I think would be the best. Exterior seal of the hull would just wear off on the trailer bunks.
I am looking for a shop or someone with the tools and facility that I could pay a fair price to get this work done.
I have not gone actively searching yet, and thought I might get some recommendations from the BFT family.
Thanks in advance
