Repairing Holes In Aluminum Boat?

[Smossy]

Gluvit or Rhino Lining should fix it up and also any others that want to come loose.

Spendy. Dont have that kind of money lol. Poor folks here. Rhino line is pure luxory.

  the "SS BOATS 'N HOES" ... good old Will Ferrell movies.

She ain't bad for a super cheap craigslist pickup. I was surprised we made it all around the lake in our test run without sinking haha.

Here you go Smossy.  Can you afford this?  I make no claims to how well it works.  It has been on TV for awhile...

From the pic's, she appears to be a good boat with lotsa life in her yet, she just needs a little TLC....but what boat doesn't

If the existing rivets aren't too bad, just tighten them up with a rivet gun and backing bar.  Replace the bad ones with new rivets.  Might have to go to a bigger rivet on those.

After bouncing my project boat off the bottom going up the Palouse I too had a leak or two...filled the boat with water from a garden hose...any rivet leaking I circled with a sharpy and when it dried covered with JB weld...worked like a champ! the next year we went up water was a little lower...holes a little bigger...now its gonna take a welder

I would highly suggest some 'Marine Tex'.  http://www.marinetex.com  Just coat all the joints/rivets of your boat.

I was just at West Marine earlier today and saw they had an Aluminum Boat Repair Kit. Not sure what exactly is in it, but might be worth looking into.

Harbor freight sells cheap rivet tools.  I would buy some aerosol rubber in a can and spray it.  A little water isn't big deal.   I like the hillbilly way as well.

The hillbilly way is the way to be lol. It'll most likely be what we do... It's not leaking terribly fast or anything but enough to get some water in the boat.

C'mon now.....a little water in the bottom is where you store the fish....

Bring it to the BBQ, let the "experts" fix it for you after they drink up enough knowledge and skill!
