[QUOTE="MrSimon, post: 448473, member: 5461"] I know you are set on a welded hull, but some of the higher end riveted hulls these days are really really good, G3 being one of them. Heck, there are tons and tons of 30, 40, and 50 year old riveted hulls still running dry and solid. Personally I think hull thickness and construction quality have more to do with longevity and dependability than rivets vs welds. For example, the riveted G3 has a double plated hull, using a sheet of .100 AND a sheet of .064 aluminum. That's pretty freaking strong. Compare that to a Tracker Grizzly that is welded, but only has one sheet of .100 aluminum. The G3 will be a stronger and longer lasting boat, even though it's riveted. [/QUOTE]
