The old 1960 Rich Line is a little leaky.

 

Filled it with water to find the leaks...unfortunately the leaky rivets are underneath / inside the benches, and behind the ribs on bottom of boat.

 

I'm planning to seal up the gaps in the ribs...might paint the bottom of the boat as well.

 

Goal is to stop leaks, or greatly reduce.

 

What would be the best solution to seal up the entire seams of the ribs?

 

• TotalBoat Aluminum Boat Leak Sealer
• Marine-Tex RM306K, get some empty / fillable caulk tubes to apply and force in to the gaps
• 3M Marine Adhesive Sealant 5200

 

** Note:  I don't care what it looks like...it's a 61 year old boat(!) **
