[QUOTE="eshaw, post: 454691, member: 22134"] I've had both in john boats. I myself prefer welded mainly because I can do repairs by myself when required. Riveted boats have their place also but sometimes it takes more than one person to buck rivets. If I want something light weight and made of thinner material I go with rivets. I believe this is why planes are all riveted, to save weight using thinner materials and it also aids in panel replacement and removal when needed. [/QUOTE]
