Default Inflatable boat

my dad has an 12 foot inflatable boat with an aluminium floor, there is a leak and we don't know where it is, any recommendations where I can take it so someone can repair it.?

Default Old river guide input

Inflate the boat and spray it with soapy water. This will let you see the hole.(Even if its a pinhole leak) If you can remove the hardshell floor do so and spray the complete boat. When found, circle the hole with a marker pen and repair. Depending on what material the boat is made of dictates your repair process. Is it a PVC construction or a rubber compound such as Hypalon or the like. A good website is www.nrsweb.com This is Northwest River Supplies in Idaho .They are a major whitewater supply company and have some instructional videos on how to repair inflatables. If still stuck...pm me and i'll see if i can help you out more.
