[QUOTE="Makaw, post: 493447, member: 25180"] [B]Seeking input! Question about ice damage to riveted hulls.[/B] A few weeks ago I completely gutted my boat for winter storage, and before it made it back to shelter it got some rainwater in the bottom of the hull, which has now frozen solid. I’m [I]pretty[/I] sure I had some frozen water through the last winter season near the the transom. I didn’t notice any issues with leaking while on the water this past year, so I’m assuming/hoping ice isn’t too big of an issue. [B]Can freezing water damage ribs or riveted seams?[/B] It doesn’t currently leak but I don’t want to create an issue by being lax with storage conditions. [/QUOTE]
