Looks good, Have you had it in the water yet? I wonder how hot the inside will get?
Any more pics?

Nice work on sealing up your boat, but like others said you are gonna cook on a hot day. Is that the stuff that you see on TV where they put a screen door in the bottom of the boat? If it is I'm pretty sure you can paint it, and you may want to look into that...

Ya its that same stuff from tv I think and to be totally honest it wasnt much hotter than the shiny silver lol but it stopped all the leaks and almost feels like a new boat my grandpa used this boat since before I was even born and was passed on to me I can remember times in this boat when I was just a kid xo its nice to see it live on I truly recomend this to anyone with a leaky boat and you bet you can paint it but it makes it easy to see anything on the floor

That looks pretty good to me. Did you order the stuff from the tv or buy it locally?

Cheers.

Did you put a screen door in the bottom of the boat first? LOL. Let us know how it holds up. Check your ***** for griddle marks. the sun will make those seats pretty hot!!
