[QUOTE="airshot, post: 499553, member: 1183"] Welding can work if the welder knows what they are doing! The problem is...there is a seal/ gasket/ whatever between the overlap where the hull is riveted. The heat will/ can mess up that seal and cause more leaks.. Nothing wrong with welding a riveted hull if the weld doesn't mess the seam gaskets...and that is the difficult part. Nothing wrong with rivets, they have been holding boats and airplanes together for over a century. [/QUOTE]
