A tatty old boat and a rotted-through dry suit. Sums it up nicely. You'll see. The latex seals are perishable, I've opted for neoprene as a replacement. ETA The gunwale hardwood rubbers are losing their varnish. This is annoying.

And I've elected not to pay for a pressure test which is another £35.00 pounds...I'll do the 'jump in the river' test instead.

My doctor has forbidden me to immerse myself in water.
This is why I also never have a bath.

Well, the added bonus is that if it doesn't leak, when you scare the shit out of young Andrew, he won't pollute the Medway.
I put new socks on my drysuit a few months back, and modified the neoprene neck collar which was a bit loose. Its still not warm enough for me to test it, but I, like you, will be using the jump in the water technique.
