Hello fellow forum members.My hull repair turned out very well so far.Took the 14 ft aluminum Grumman out on the lake and slapped it around on the rough water and all was well.I had a small/weep/leak under the rear seat which i plan to seal with gluvit as as reccomended to me in a previous thread.I will add some final pics.later for anyone interested.The boat seems very rigid now and goes just where you point it.The boat gets right up on plane and continues a slight porpoise motion at full plane.Seems very fast I would guess 35mph but I will also measure that with my gps and get back to post it.Thanks for looking and have a great time working on your boats...John
