[QUOTE="Va Larry, post: 370739, member: 10145"] For river use the heavier welded tracker could serve you well for years to come no matter what motor you use. The lighter riveted Lowe will show hull issues over time in a rocky river ( rock contact causes their thin hulls to wave, dent, or even tear, and tends to loosen rivets causing future leaks ). That only gets more likely with a heavier motor and more speed. Riveted boats can do well on some rivers and/or some deeper sections but if your mostly a river fishermen a welded boat with a slightly thicker hull will give you more leeway for mistakes and getting off the beaten path so to speak.
