[Rhodes22-list] Soul of the sole

[The Rhodes 22 Email List]

Graham: Yes that is what i meant.  These boats have a notoriously leaky hull to deck joint.  Stan explained it was due to the workers ineptitude he had applying the joint caulk during those years.  They probably caulked the seam after the hull and deck were fastened instead of caulking both sides then putting the sandwich together and just wiping away the excess.
I am going to remove the rail, clean out as much old caulk as i can and then seal it with 3m 5200 and re-attach the rub rail. It shouldnt leak any more.  I did this once before on an 80's era boat and it worked great.  Shortcuts were happening in every industry back then.
