[QUOTE="BigTerp, post: 370611, member: 9169"] I have an older (1995) Tracker Sportsman 1648 that I completely redid over a year ago. It is riveted and (was) light. I don't mind the rivets so much because I can easily replace them with tools I have on hand and solid rivets. Makes modifications a bit easier. I run a shallow rocky river as well with a 50/35 Johnson Jet and have had my share of rock/bottom strikes. Have put 2 holes in the bottom of my hull and destroyed my jet foot all this past summer. With all of that only one rivet on the bottom needed fixed. I run my boat HARD all year fishing in the spring/summer and then duck hunting in the fall/winter. Only problem I have with mine is the hull is rather thin. Probably less then .80", which leads to holes. If I ever get another boat I will be more concerned about hull gauge then riveted vs welded.
