Some men you just can't reach, which is the way he wants it. Well he he gets it, a sinking boat.

Before someone gives you a nickname like Scott Sunkin, I think you'd better bite the bullet and get that boat off to a good shop. Have that leak investigated (silicone is an emergency repair to get the boat home) get another opinion on that transom and have someone check your issues with overheating.

It may cost you a bit, but spending money now can save you money further down the track. You knew when you bought it you could have to throw some money into it, and you were right!

Good luck
RR
