[QUOTE="PSG-1, post: 236638, member: 6937"] My personal experience says that a welded boat is better, especially if you plan on running in any kind of chop. When I was a kid, every riveted boat I had leaked like a sieve. Of course, that might have to do with the fact that I drove the **** things like they were jet skis, jumping waves, etc. On flat water, a riveted bottom should be fine. But if you plan on operating in occasionally rough water, the welded bottom is the way to go. [/QUOTE]
