thanks for the tips, to be honest upon inspection i actually cannot see any visible seals! one of the windows on each side is a slider and theres definiltey no rubber seal at the end of that as i can see a few mm gap to the outside world! so theres that, maybe they are bedded up inside the alu frame which i cannot get off without drilling the pop rivets out and i dont want to do that yet until ive got all the proper tools to re-fit back.

Hi everyone my names Gary , complete newbie to boating and just bought a dawncraft dandy , (little lolly) renamed little ollie, currently moored on the bridgewater canal. The mooring was more attractive than the boat but its a start nonetheless! bit overwhelmed at the moment as its a project boat and keep starting jobs , not finishing them and moving on to other jobs ha ha, i have tons of questions so please do point me in the direction of where to ask them as ive got sooooooooo much to do! below is what needs doing and what ive started complete sanding and painting of the boat ( completely sanded , just waiting for a cluster of dry days to start priming and painting windows leaking from most points needs sealing or rebedding( started to clean them and prep for the hope of a quick seal and fix!) Engine needs a few bits ( recoil spring, choke repair and service booked in) electrics and gas(completely stripped of old electrics to blank canvas, someone booked in as not confident with both of these) refit ( completely stripped out everything, blank canvas ready to refit once above is sorted) need to source pullpit and rear rails for saftey (will have young kids on board) hope ive not rabbited on to much and hope to get some quick pointers from all you experienced guys out there! thanks
