[QUOTE="gunny146, post: 115490, member: 2023"] I have the same boat sitting under my carport. If it's the same size as mine, 1228, I would go with cheeseball's idea. If it is like mine, the metal of the boat is very thin making it a bit harder to weld. I rebucked all the rivets and sealed them up from the outside with the attwood marine stuff you get at walmart, the polyurethane, not silicone. I filled the holes form the previous owner with Marine-tex epoxy putty. After a successful leak test (filled the boat with water and let sit overnight), I am ready to paint, just have to get time. By the way if you both plan to be in the boat at the same time, standing will be difficult. I recommend a 2x10 or 2x12 acoss the benches with a 7" pedestal and seat. This takes a lot of pressure off the knees and didn't really seem to effect stabilty too much, but that was with one person on board. Welcome and good luck. [/QUOTE]
