[QUOTE="Frankenfish, post: 479941, member: 25701"] Hello everyone, I had a questions this morning and hoped to draw for the wealth of experience and opinions on this forum. How dry should I expect a tin boat to be? Riveted tin? Welded tin? New tin? Old tin? Ancient tin? How much water leak over a day of boating is acceptable to you? I have a 78 starcraft that I've been replacing/bucking rivets on and am having trouble knowing when to say enough. Last time I took it out, I had maybe a half gallon in the boat after 2 hours of fishing. Not too bad in my opinion, but not the driest. And every tin boat for sale says "Bone Dry". Surely I didn't buy the only boat on Craigslist that leaks! Haha. Just something of interest to me and I'd like to hear your opinions. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
