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).</blockquote>
