Mud Bug
Hand made things are better
We put our bob in the water today, and there were three places where water seeped in at the centerline. It appears to be coming in under the keel, since the rest of the canvas is really quite good, and the leaks were in the middle. Annoyed me, because the last time it was in the water it didn't seem to leak.
Any reason not to pull the keel, seal beneath it, and put the keel back on? It's screwed to every rib, which'll be a pain. The canvas isn't shrinking away at the gunnels or anything terrible like that that'd make me want to replace it yet, though that's not totally out of the question.
Advice? Tips? Warnings? Wisdom?
