I decided I needed a hobbie and my brother had an old Pelin Nomad with a leak so it's a real 'do up'. Never owned a boat so thought I'd start by reading and found this site. I am currently clearing my garage to find space to park it so I can strip it down and start with trying to find the leak. My question is can anyone recommend any literature that can help me repair and do up this boat. Don't think you're the first one to offer me a match. Lol
