[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 423061, member: 15636"] [b]HOLES[/b] - Most of us put back in properly bucked solid rivets ... done once, done right. [b]STRUCTURAL [/b]- See this post here: https://forum.tinboats.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=40289 for info and pictures. I had cautioned about boats where the middle seat is removed and if hitting waves, the stresses are sent down the sides of the hull where the hull is essentially trying to collapse on itself. [i]If you're always on a pond you may not need to heed this ... [/i] Someone else posted pictures of braces they were adding. So it appears in tin boats that the methods used are: [list]* Full-width seats (you don't want), * Half-size compartments up the sides (think Lund Alaskan layout or other hulls with rod storage down the side that mates the floor to the hull topside (side) * Adding floor or braces for additional support when no seat or compartment is used. [/list] I've only done the 1st two, so can't comment on braces. But hopefully others here can help you! [color=#FF0000][b][size=5][i]Welcome aboard![/i][/size][/b][/color] [/QUOTE]
