Repairing a leak on an inflatable

[GilligansIsland]

I've got a '99 Quicksilver 300 with a leak on a seam that about a 2" long. Not a tear, the glue is letting go.

Any suggestions on repairing? I've seen the kits but wondered if they are any good.

Has anyone tried the Hippo Patch?... Just saw that today.

The glue is letting go there today. Tomorrow it will let go somewhere else and next week somewhere else. Service life on that boat is 7 years so I would consider letting it die a peaceful death. If you want to try keeping up with the repairs you will need 2-part PVC glue and a wee bit of skill.

I don't like that answer.

Got something else?

There is no other answer if you want the truth. However, there are always dimwits who will give you an answer that you want to hear.

Anybody wanna buy a slighty used dinghy?... It's got a clever anti overinflation device.
