[QUOTE="gillhunter, post: 236687, member: 5151"] I have owned Crestliner, Sea Nymph, Lowe and Polarcraft [b]totally[/b] riveted deep v's and none of them ever leaked. The 2011 Alumacraft MV 1648 I have now is considered riveted, but has some welding in the construction. (transom is welded to the sides and the mod v bow seams are welded). In my opinion whether you go with welded or riveted is dependent on the use you intend for the boat and your budget. If I were going to be running rivers I would probably go with a heavy gauge all welded boat. Since my boat is primarily for total electric lakes I felt that a lighter riveted boat would be better for my purpose. [/QUOTE]
