Jigfest boat rebuild thread.

How far from the ramp were you and how much water did you take in?

By the way underwater rubberized gorilla tape works unbelievably well.

Not sure on how much, we were across the river about 1/4 mile down from the boat launch at Riley's.   It took a good amount of time to empty, had two drain plugs removed and the hole draining for a few minutes.

Glad you got the surf board repaired buddy.  You could of just thrown some flex seal on there and let her rip! Lol

Got the hole welded.  Not perfect but tremendously better than before.

I'm thinking about welding a piece of 1/8" thick by 2" wide flat stock from there to the first rib to stiffen the bottom.   Thoughts? 

If I wanted to reinforce that part of the bottom I'd do in on the inside of the boat and put it from gunwale to gunwale if I could.
