I bought a 1999 lund adventurer used in salt water. It has 10 holes in the hull from salt water. How can I stop and repair the corrosion and fix the holes? Most are the size of a quarter. Can't weld without tearing hull insulation out. Been told to rivet plates on bigger holes. What about smaller ones? How doi stop the corrosion from getting worse?
