[QUOTE="Nobody, post: 284537, member: 9663"] I think welding is better but rivets are more economical. I used sealing pop rivets from mcmaster Carr with washers and sealant. Mcmaster Carr does a good job explaining the differences between each type of rivets. I believe the solid rivets hold better then the pop rivets. My boat was so bad when I started that any rivets at all were an upgrade. [/QUOTE]
