If i was going to buy, i would research the diff. between welded and riveted boats . I have talked to some fishermen who told me they had some minor leaks and had to tighten up the rivets over time. I dont know if thats a good thing or not . Just something to look into .
I would never buy a riveted boat unless we are talking about a cheap jon boat style. nothing that gets pounded as leaking rivets suck.

Tnx Bumpy , good to know . From what i have been reading, welded is more expensive but the users of them stated the same as you mentioned. A pounding sea needs something more solid than a rivet.
I think the metal needs to be heavier on a welded unit . I guess to some owners that would matter when towing with a truck camper.
