I have been working on fixing any screw holes where the plugs don't fit tightly; normally this involved drilling the courterbore slightly deeper so that the plug will seal, and in some cases I have to move up one size from a 3/8" plug, to 1/2". Over all pretty easy, just takes some time.
As for paying the seams. I am using interlux seam putty below the water line. I started out trying to do this using a putty knife, with poor results. So I moved on to plan B, which was to thin the putty slightly with paint thinner, then pack it into a caulking tube from west systems, and then apply it with a standard caulking gun.... much better results.
I did realize that I had the process order a bit wrong. Should've done the bungs, then trim them, then caulk, and then pay the seams. will do better on the other side of the boat.

| added some glazing in the topsides just to see how well it will work, Looks good. not sure if I should tint it or just go with white? |
