[QUOTE="bassboy1, post: 168974, member: 55"] You would be surprised. That transom will definitely have a decent amount of flex to it. Just the nature of a tinny. I'm a TIG welder, and were that my personal boat, I'd probably just stick a rivet in it, and be done. For me, at least, the time spent welding that up wouldn't be worth the gain over a rivet, unless the aesthetics of the rivets bother you. The rest of the boat is held together with rivets, so 4 right there would be no different, as far as durability is concerned. [/QUOTE]
