[QUOTE="onthewater102, post: 416173, member: 13702"] Yeah the skins on these aluminum boats are so thin that when you get them hot enough for the braze to work they deform and cause more problems then you solve (speaking from experience.) If you're going with aluminum decking to save weight (which is the WHOLE point to these tin boats anyway right?) I hope you dump that lumberyard worth of half rotted framing support in the process. If you have an air compressor solid rivets are so easy to set and so much stronger than pop rivets. What type of boat is that? You've got 3 transom buttress supports - bench seats installed OVER support ribs - that thing is built like a tank! [/QUOTE]
