[QUOTE="castaway, post: 365905, member: 15137"] Thank you both for your replies. I've been doing some additional research. These holes, once cleaned and drilled out will be too big for a rivet. I'm concerned that welding, although probably the best fix, would require cutting out and replacing the entire section at considerable cost. I'm pretty confident that the Gluvit product could do the trick for me, but I'm thinking of selling this boat and I'm not sure how well that would be received by a potential buyer. Has anyone used the aluminum brazing rods? These will melt at 500 degrees and I've heard some good things about fixes using these. I'm not sure how hard it would be to use them on a hull bottom. I've never used one. [/QUOTE]
