[QUOTE="wasilvers, post: 140658, member: 1776"] Careful with getting welded. Mine was is an old 1978 riveted boat. Between the rivets is a sheet of tar paper type stuff. When the seams were welded, this paper burned out and the rivets leaked more :evil: He put some type of aluminumepoxy on it on the inside to stop leaks. It seems to hold right now. So I would caution against getting it welded unless it is metal on metal. Mine cost $450 to get about 9ish feet of welding done - but he picked up the boat late at night and dropped it off on the weekend for me. If I would do it again, I would just rebuck the rivets. Cheaper and pretty fast (so I hear). [/QUOTE]
