Porta bote water test after repair

 


So we got enough rain the last few days to dump a couple of gallons into the boat, which is perfect for testing the repair we made in the body. It had a tear in the transom sheet of heavy plastic at the fold. First we tried plastic welding, which was not satisfactory. We had left over aluminum-bitumen tape from another project and did this repair. We used a heatgun to help smush the bitumen around and make very good seals. So far so good.
