[QUOTE="thatkidhugo, post: 237442, member: 6877"] No progress today, need to weld 14 holes where the old transom was.. yes, the factory put 14 screws in the transom! Looked around online for a aluminum welder and found a couple. The first guy I called wanted $250 to weld those holes... so I called another guy. I found one about 20 mins from my place and he's charging me $100 which I think is fair. I've made up my mind and decided to use gluvit on the inside bottom of the boat right up to where the decking will start and use steelflex on everything else. As for the decking, I've been looking at a lot of builds on here and I've decided to frame in aluminum. The thing is.. is it worth it to get all of my frame work welded? Would it be stronger then using rivets? I'm not comfortable doing everything in rivets. [/QUOTE]
