[QUOTE="bthompson92, post: 376559, member: 14606"] I bought some closed cell foam and pressure washed the old aluminum deck and plan on re riveting the deck back down to the ribs. but before I did that I put the boat in the lake behind my grandparents house. Although I know the welds were not the best I felt like they got the job done. The bad news is that when we put the boat in the water 1/2 of the spots he welded had small leaks coming from them. The right thing to do would probably have him fix them but if he messed up the first time he may mess up again. So I will be trying to fix it myself. I grinded the bottom of the boat around all the spots he welded and all the rivets on the bottom that were welded up by PO. I need to seal it up but at a low cost so I'm thinking some 3m 5200 fast cure then prime and paint. Maybe this will do the job [/QUOTE]
