[QUOTE="JonM, post: 517775, member: 36224"] I don't know exactly how thick the hull is but it looks close to 1/8th of an inch thick. I bought 1/16th aluminum sheets from Amazon and two different sized 3/16th's rivets from "Jay-Cee Sales & Rivets, Inc". One pack of rivets with grip from .251-.375 and another pack with grip from .376-.500 . I included a photo showing how my hull is starting to bend where I circled in red. It's not so bad towards the transom but the hull starts to bend down more and more towards the middle of the boat. The hull is fairly thick and difficult to bend back into it's original shape. I might have to shape the patch to the hull, please let me know what you think. Thanks [/QUOTE]
