[QUOTE="jigngrub, post: 267764, member: 6657"] It's like this: 1. Welded boats have a little thicker hull and weigh a little more. Welds can and will crack and break. If you know how and have the tools to weld aluminum it won't be that big of a problems if one of your welds crack or breaks. 2. Riveted boats have a little thinner hull material and are a little lighter. Rivets can and will leak. Leaking rivets can be easily fixed like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0MA1-5NXjs&feature=related You can buy a heavy duty rivet setting tool from Harbor Freight for $20 and 100 closed end blind rivets for $20. A rivget setting tool and selection of rivets is a very handy thing to have whether you own a welded or riveted aluminum boat. [/QUOTE]
