[QUOTE="simbelle, post: 305843, member: 10384"] I'm late and you already bought your materials, but it looks like your boat may be even older than mine and has a lot of fatigue. ( That's why they take aircraft out of service, but boats don't fly, at least not the ones you and I own.) I used fiberglass tape reinforced with Marine Tex; now it's probably significantly more expensive, but I don't think I will ever have to worry about the issues o it popping out with the flex of the boat like I have read about a hundred times on this and other sights. Then again, the marine weld or whatever you got might last you as long as you need it to. Good luck. Plz excuse the above comment> I should have checked to see were the hole was. Being on the bottom that is most defiantly a aluminium patch, sealed with 5200 and bolted,, riveted, or welded (your choice), I had a small area in the back of my boat were there was a hole in the floor and someone had patched it with aluminium , sealant and stainless steel bolts and its a good patch and I just stripped the paint off, sealed the boat with gluvet a painted over it outside and marine tex'ed the inside and sanded it down and sealed and painted.
