First, I did a search and couldn't find where this topic had really been discussed, at least not recently, so forgive me if this has been beaten to death and I somehow missed it.......So, for a multi-purpose, fishing/hunting flat bottom boat somewhere in the 16' range, which is better and why?
I've heard riveted boats can be a little leaky, but also hear horror stories about cracked/split welds on welded boats. A small bilge pump or 2 seems like it'd be a lot cheaper than having someone repair welds... So, what are the pro's/con's of each?
There are 3 certainties in an uncertain world:
1. All Politicians Are Liars 2. All Gun Laws Are an Infringement 3. Taxation Is Theft
