Boat repair


Recommended Posts

Anyone know of a good welder for aluminum on the west side of Michigan? And in the same breath, I have 13 rivets that need repair.

Got a bit of damage to the hull of my boat from our trip up north. Insurance adjuster is inspecting it in the morning and I need a reccomendation on who is good at welding aluminum. The weld would be a temp fix as I bent a couple of aluminum stringers to boot.

Dang rocks!!

I have a1988 pro 17 Bass Tracker that leaked like a sieve. I found a place in Charlevoix that I could order some closed end rivets. I drilled out the old rivets ,squirted some good marine silicant in the holes and re-riveted the whole boat. no more leaking rivets. It pays to have a nephew who is in the auto repair business,as he loaned me an electric rivet gun.
