[QUOTE="71richlinetj, post: 448290, member: 23410"] I filled the boat with enough water to cover the bottom to cover the rivets about 2 inches above the bottom floor. I have multiple leaks along both sides from the transom to the middle seat. I am going to tighten the rivets and see how this does. A friend of mine, is a mechanic at a truck shop, he does aluminum welding on the tank trucks, he says he can fix the crack in the transom on his lunch break. I am buying lunch. The transom board is in pretty good shape, but I think I will have to remove it to have the transom welded, so if I have it out, and it shows any sign of weakness, I am going to make a new one.
