Thread: Still taking water in Jon boat

I took the majority advice and had my boat professionally welded . The gent who did this is basically retired and only charged $30, the cost was less than expected. My issue is that it still leaks. I was on the water yesterday and in the estimated time of around 3 1/2 hours I had close to 6 inches of water around my feet in the stern area, no fun. I did the math and my boat has to be close to 39 years old and I`ve more than got my $$ out of it. However, I`d still prefer to repair as opposed to replace.

I doubt the welder can help me...Would JB weld marine puttied over the welded area possibly seal my leak? Other options?

Thanks!
