[QUOTE="MarcusBrown, post: 416812, member: 21340"] Hi I was a complete boating novice until about 2months ago. A random purchase later and I have a marine ally 12ft v hull with a mercury 4hp. 1) I have detachable transport wheels fitted bit I'm worried about the stress on the ally around the mountings so was going to reinforce with steel chequer plate. My question is what kind of rivets should I use and do I need any tools other than a drill and rivet gun? Also how can I assure a leak free join? 2) I use it mainly on a busy stretch of the Thames and yesterday while out a big old tug passed me and the wash it created was scary, I was fine and steered directly in to the waves but me and my little boat was thrown around a bit. What am I suppose to do in these situations. 3) going against strong currents I felt Like was going no where fast, think about a bigger engine, the boat can take a max 15hp. What should I consider while think about motors. And lastly I would appreciate any other tops and advice you can offer. Thanks for your help Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
