[QUOTE="bcbouy, post: 267721, member: 4563"] it will make a difference in the long run.my last boat was riveted and leaked like a seive.the only way my welded will leak is if i tear a hole in it.you can only bang around a riveted boat for so long before the rivets start to loosen.thats why a good number of mods here have been coated with one product or another on the bottom (steel flex?).if you can get a welded for a good price,do it,especially if you plan to keep it for several years.they may also be heavier guage aluminum,i dont know.but if you're putting everything and the kitchen sink,plus a 20 ,do you really want to go cheap and light?
