Here's my method for fixing water leaks in an old fiberglass hull......don't even try, as there's probably too many leaks all along the seams or hidden away somewhere to find. For $12-16, VIP Auto sells black rubber inner tubes for pivkup trucks, atv's, lawn & garden equipment, and the inner tube(s) get placed into the hull and inflated, doing double service of extra flotation and adding some structural support to a tired fiberglass hull.
Plus, it's way less work than fixing the leaks, plus you know immediately if the inner tubes's flotation is sound with a visual or touch test. You know that had the Titantic used this inner tube plan, it never would have been sunk! Probably, ditto for the 26' Cobalt too. Probaby three or four $15.00 inner tubes could have keep the big money Cobalt from sinking into the deep water.
