: I thought about that but the what if's concern me. If it fails you
: are in deep water. So I am really leaning toward a way to
: mechanically clamp it in place with some lexel to seal it. Just
: not sure I could trust just glue even thought it does works on
: airplanes.

Whole bunch of boats on the water, the grand majority, that are entirely "glued" together. Fiberglass boats are essentially about 1/2 glue.

Also a whole bunch of cold molded boats for about the last 40 years that are entirely glued together, done correctly they don't fail.
