I'm sure some good waterproof paint would do nicely and have it all sealed for you to use. LOL!!!!

If they can do it in a boat with a screen door in the bottom, it should be a piece of cake for you. I didn't see how they would bridge a large crack though. :D

I'd fill her with sprayed on foam and float out to sea.

Fast burning Second hand paint from a garage sale.

You used the term boat loosely.

Yeah that flex seal will foat a boat with a screen door in the bottom!! I think you will need a lot!! Nice picture of a restoration project. I could probably get her ship shape for around $40,000 US.

Most of that will buff right out. Then, a little Krylon touch-up here and there and you're good to go.
