Hello, I have a ‘55 fifteen footer, mahogany plywood. It is all original and was moved to and from the boathouse on a rail to the lake when used by the original family.
I know it’s a ‘no soak’ boat. My question is, I want to make sure it leaks minimally. What would one suggest for some type of sealer that I go over the seams with? THANK YOU!  |

With plywood it may seep a little. If everything is in good condition it should stop after a few days. But, if you don't leave it in the water, I'd just let it seep and make sure your bilge pump works.

Yes, very cool looking boat.
I have a 1964 plywood Dunphy. Over time water seeps in where the panels meet, especially where the sides meet the bottom, most notable near the transom. Use caulk on the inside of these joints to address this. I use Total Boat Marine Adhesive Caulk (Amazon) with good results. |
