Boat repair continues, a few small leaks filled with silicone, and the new paint has been sanded and blended to match the rest of the hull. She's almost ready to be handed back to the owner.
@Ilovethebomb is this work or hobby? I've often looked at project boats and wondered if it's worth the effort.
A bit of both, it's a cash job for another paddler. I've done similar repairs on my own boats as well though.
A few people I paddle with have built their own boats from scratch though, which is something I'd like to do one day.
