[QUOTE="drider, post: 235884, member: 7453"] Hi all, I'm from Los Angeles, CA and believe it or not we're all not into I-phones and the b.s hollyweird scene. I've been a avid angler since I could remember and I just got my first boat! Before that it was fishing tubes, many kayaks and now the Valco 13' aluminum boat! I took it out for the first time yesterday and there was a water leak in the bow area. At first I thought it was the rear drain plug but found evident it was leaking from the bow area. Now since the boat is riveted do you guys suggests I clean up the bow area and apply an epoxy type marine type sealant or take the dam thing and get it welded? The reason I ask is I want it permanently securely fixed! There is a plenty wealth of welders down the street from where my boat is stored?
