[QUOTE="Captain Ahab, post: 115472, member: 10"] 1. You can weld aluminum - I am not a welder but I understand it can be difficult with material as thin as a boat. You need to use an TIG welder - which is a pretty expensive piece of equipment. 2. It is not bad to drill holes if you need to. You can fill the old holes with 3M 5200 Marine sealer (If the hole is large add a machine screw and nut). 3. I understand that people seem to like to paint their boats - i use mine to fish in and see no need to paint the boat just to make it look purty. Use the boat as a tool to catch fish and shoot duck. Instead of spending time and money painting, go hunting or fishing. BTW - even the best camo paint job will not hide your boat from the duck - build a blind on top if that is your intent.
