[QUOTE="HookedUp443, post: 200553, member: 5369"] Thanks for the advice man. I think sometimes pictures give the wrong idea though. I don't think anyone would feel that way if they saw and felt this repair in person. I am 99.99% sure that no wave is gonna take this patch off the boat, it is on there real solid, and the best part is that it isn't going to leak. A weld job most likely would have leaked at some point. A wave big & strong enough to loosen this piece would probably just capsize the boat anyhow. I'm just looking to putz around on some small lakes...nothing crazy here 8) , and as I stated earlier in the thread I am only using a 7.5 hp motor so not a speed demon either. Honestly, it would take less force to put a hole right thru the side of the boat than it would to loosen that strip of aluminum. [/QUOTE]
