<p>I'm headed up river Saturday, taking my boat to the Wooden Boat Festival! Super excited to see all the different boats and boat builders.</p>

<p>I haven't been around here for a while. Since I finished the boat I can't keep myself off the river. Here's a couple pics of it that I haven't shared yet. My mother in law made the boat cover, which was fun to plan out. She did the whole thing on a small regular sewing machine. It was a gritty performance by her. </p>
<p>The boat is amazing, I love it more and more each time i take it out. Thanks so much for all the support during the build. </p>
<p>It'll be interesting to see how long…</p>

<p>Drilled off the nail heads which was easier than I expected it to be. I also was able to remove the shanks using some pliers and carefully twisting/pulling. There was definitely water trapped behind the rub strip, but the good news is that none was getting into the hull. It just made its way into the rub strip, which I may be able to sand out the discoloration and re-install with screws and 5200 or something similar to solve the problem. I'm glad it wasn't worse.</p>

<p>If you decide to remove the rub strip, you'll find it fairly easy to mark the center of the nail head with a centerpunch and drill off the head - that way the rub strip will come off fairly undamaged. </p>

<p>I need some advice. I've only been on the river 6 times w/ my boat and just discovered this discoloration around one of the nails used to secure the rub strip. I'm guessing water is getting in behind the rub strip and making its way up the nail hole from behind. Although I did encapsulate the rub strip w/epoxy before attaching it, I didn't put 5200 or lifecaulk or anything like that between the rub strip and the hull, which appears to be a big mistake.

<p>I need some advice. I've only been on the river 6 times w/ my boat and just discovered this discoloration around one of the nails used to secure the rub strip. I'm guessing water is getting in behind the rub strip and making its way up the nail hole from behind. Although I did encapsulate the rub strip w/epoxy before attaching it, I didn't put 5200 or lifecaulk or anything like that between the rub strip and the hull, which appears to be a big mistake. I assume i need to remove the rub strip asap to make sure water's not getting into the main hull. I don't know exactly how to remove the strip, but figured I'd cut off the nail heads and just pull it off and cross my fingers about the hull. Any thoughts/ input are appreciated.</p>
