I had a Duracraft 16' that would let in 5 gal / hour. Every hour you had to turn on the bilge and pump for a minute or so. I stripped everything out except the console and the aluminum cross member and flotation. Put it on the water and china marked around every rivet that was leaking. Had those rivets welded up. Put it back together with a longer front deck. Put it on the water and it only leaked 4 gallon per hour after that. Then put it up for sales with the leaky SOB caveat. I'm hoping this issue is a minor one Beags.
