[QUOTE="MrSimon, post: 268080, member: 5461"] A lot depends on your budget, intended use, and how long you plan to keep the boat. If you have a money tree in the backyard, then get a brand new welded boat - they truly are the best of the best. If you are like the rest of us and your boating budget is limited, then a used riveted boat will be just fine. Leaks are easily identified and fixed for not much money. And there are tons of old riveted boats that don't leak a drop .... usually do to good care and proper maintenance. Now, if you run rocky rivers all the time and/or beach the boat regularly on gravel or cement, then I'd get a welded boat for sure. [/QUOTE]
