[QUOTE="bill11, post: 280457, member: 6578"] My boat is a deep v hull that was made in a press from one piece of aluminum. When i restore it, i will have a choice of one long center weld or two long waterline welds. I could also use solid rivots. The boat will be in salt water. was your jon boat in saltwater? Why would your boat corrode so bad? There are lots of welded boats out there that would take a lifetime to rust to the point of leaking. I guess my question is == Is having to use two long waterline welds ( thus keeping the keel area weld free) better then having just one keel weld from bow to stern? The boat will be made with two aluminum sheets or three depending on which way i do it. bill11 [/QUOTE]
