Shoe Goo - same as a leaky decoy or wader Works better than duct tape -

 Re: leak in the boat
Bigger bilge pump. But seriously, get you some of that spay rubber sealant from Homw depot. Prolly a good temporary fix.

 Re: leak in the boat
A welder would be the best thing. Take it to a fab shot and tell to weld it up.

 Re: leak in the boat
Getting it welded up is the only solution. I had some small holes and I filled the boat with water on the trailer so I could figure out where they were and then tried to patch with JB weld and flex seal. All would work when I was just in open water but as soon as the bottom of the boat would hit something it'd come out. Spent more money on bull shit to fix it than I would getting it welded up only cost $35
