So I picked the boat up Friday and worked on it all weekend and a little Monday but got a few things done. Decided to paint the entire bilge with a marine epoxy like what the repair guy painted over the repair with. It looks white but its a light gray marine two-part epoxy from sherwin williams. I figured this would seal anything else up and would be easier to spot any leaks.
I also got all of the decals off the outside and can see what the boat it supposed to look like!
