I leak tested my starboard hull using low air pressure and found two pin hole leaks in the hull lip forward of the rear pylon. The soap bubbles inflated like a balloon to show the location of the leaks. Can this be repaired with a bead of silicon sealer or better repaired by several coats of epoxy applied to the lip area around the leaks? Thanks

Silicon would probably get rubbed off, since the boat get handled so much around this area. Epoxy would be messy and hard to handle for this job. You might try 3m 5200 polyurethane adhesive sealant. It seems to be a little bit more substanial than silicon and the real devil to get off sometimes. Just what you need for this application and it's sold at walmart.
