[QUOTE="Weldorthemagnificent, post: 485787, member: 22139"] In my experience I have found that people will smear goop on rivets without taking the time to find where the actual leaks are. Put water in the boat and get underneath and watch for drips. Mark them with a sharpie. I like to rebuck offending rivets before using any sealant. I have had good luck using JB Weld Steel Stik. Clean the aluminum bare before using. As for the welding, leave that to the pros. As a welder, I recommend taking it to a local shop and having it braced up right. Cool looking boat. Good luck on the project! Sent from my CLT-L04 using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
