[QUOTE="HendersonPhoto, post: 366143, member: 15194"] Drilling out rivets and cutting off rusted bolts that the previous owner used to patch holes. Sanded every rivet point to remove old tar, sealer and what I think is Marine Tex. Tried brazing a couple holes/cracks, but the metal is too thin. Talked to a local welder/fabricator and he said that aluminum boat skin is almost impossible to weld. [/QUOTE]
