[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 375482, member: 13599"] I can only offer a little repair advice - - - I own both riveted and welded boats. If a rivet comes loose, you can reset it if you can get to it. If a rivet fails, or, you want to move whatever is riveted, you drill it out and put in a blind rivet. now, if a WELD fails, you are limited to epoxy fix, fiberglass, or welding (somewhat expensive). Just do your homework first, then, pass over the junk like you have been doing. Eventually, with a little luck, you may find something that works for you. When you start pricing new boats, sticker shock will slap you in the face. Tin Boats will last forever if well maintained. Riveted boats are a LOT easier to fix if something is amiss. Jus my dos centavos Welcome to the Site !!! [/QUOTE]
