[QUOTE="Crazyboat, post: 454481, member: 21552"] Growing up a had a tinner that had rivets, after a couple of years of very heavy pounding they began to pop, I swore I'd never get another tin with rivets, then I broke a weld and said, that's it, no more tin boats. I of course was a kid with a 15 strapped to a 12' tin rated at 7.5 HP. Now older and wiser I have a tin in my sights and am pondering the age old question, to weld or to rivet? I can't help but notice that passenger jet planes all have rivets, are they missing something on welds, or do they utilize both? [/QUOTE]
