[QUOTE="Asw436, post: 405676, member: 20569"] I recently picked up an aluminum boat for 300 bucks. After stripping 4 layers of paint I found around 8 holes ranging in size. One damaged is now the size of quarter because of my failed rod brazing attempts. What would be the best repair? A. Drill out a perfect hole, Take a large bolt with a thin nylon washer and epoxy and use a nut on the back side to make a water tight seal. B. clean the aluminum very good, cut a piece of aluminum larger than the hole, put a thick layer of epoxy and rivet it to the hull. C.pay 225 and get the boat welded I don't need the boat to hold up forever. Just for the next 3 seasons while I save up cash to get another hull. At the same time, I want the boat to be safe. I appreciate any input. [/QUOTE]
