Thanks, boat leak is sayonara

[John Glover]

Thanks to all who contributed suggestions to help me stop the water leakage into my PT18. I did everything suggested and finally, ran the water test. Ran the hose into the bilge and there it was....one really loose rivet. I could not believe one rivet could leak in anywhere from a gallon to two gallons of water in four hours of fishing, but that was it. The cost was $4.99 for some JB Weld, let it cure good, no more water in the hull. Have to admit, that rivet was so loose you could turn it and wobble it with your fingernails. So, now I'll keep the boat.

Thanks, folks.

If you have one loose or gone then you better keep a close check on em'...mine went from one to two and on and on.

Try not to beat it
