[QUOTE="Nevillizer, post: 96109, member: 1773"] My money is they are trying to bump the sale. But the all welded models do tend to not leak over time. Structually speaking I wouldn't think there would be a huge differance as the rib supports are the same. Grant you I am not an expert in either, but thats just my thoughts. BTW - My jon is a 1978 Alumicraft 1432 riveted and has no leaks, I guess it realy boils down to the craftmenship irregardless of rivets or welds. [/QUOTE]
