[QUOTE="duckdoc, post: 279080, member: 9730"] I have a 1998 Lowe Roughneck 17ft all welded jon boat that the two pieces that come together and forms the keel (bottom) keeps cracking. The seam is protected by a piece of angle iron. I am very careful with this boat and do not run it onto the beach or hit stumps or rocks. The boat does have a wooden floor with carpet. The lake can get rough from all the big boats. It cracked once and I had it fixed and now it has cracked again. Anybody else had this trouble with their boat? I dont want to use jb weld on it. I know people who have had jon boats forever and they seem to hold up very well. I called the company and they said to have someone weld all the way around the angle iron and completely seal it off. Any suggestions or ideas would be great. It is a nice boat and we have really enjoyed it. Thanks for the help!! I live in the Atlanta area so if you know of a good welder for alumium boats please let me know [/QUOTE]
