Well I finished pressure testing the Pontoons today. There are 10 compartments and 3 are leakers!! The front one on the left side (port?) and the front and rear on the right side (starboard?) . The left one is really bad, I cut a hole big enough for my head to look in. The rust was about an inch deep and the metal is very very thin. I am going to have my friend redo the entire bottom of this one. The right side doesn't seem near as bad, the front is a couple of cracks which we will weld up. I need to cut a piece out of the rear one and we will see how the metal looks. The rest all held 4 PSI no problem and when you hit them on the bottom with a hammer they sound solid and nothing loose.
So hopefully not too big of deal!!!
I will take some pics and post them of the damage in the next day or two!!
