[QUOTE="architorture, post: 216456, member: 4717"] It should probably be noted that the reason welded boats are typically stronger is because they are thicker gauge aluminum. A riveted boat and a welded boat of the same gauge, well the riveted boat would actually be stronger. Think of it this way, a welded boat is basically taking two pieces of aluminum and welding them at the corner or seam. A riveted boat is taking two pieces of [u]overlapped[/u] aluminum and holding them together with several fasteners. This gives the riveted boat a lot more strength and integrity. With that being said, I like boat riveted and welded boats. [/QUOTE]
