Hello all, My name is Anthony. I need some help repairing my new (used) Jon Boat. There's no name or numbers on the boat. Or else I'd list it. One of the problems I trying to fix is a small hidden leak. I believe its leaking from where the bench seats are attached to the floor. I'm not sure if these things are rivets holding the seats to the floor or what. Its just a 1half" strip of aluminum that comes off the seats that attach it to the floor. Half of the rivets (If thats what they are) arent even secure. Half of them are pulled off. Any one know how to fix this. I have a small 90amp Flux wire welder from Harbor Freight but I don't think it'll weld aluminum.
I thought I got a good deal on this thing, Only paying $100 for the boat and another $100 for the electric engine. I had no idea how much more it'd cost to get this thing in the water. From renting a truck to pick the boat up, then buying a trailer, hitch, and harness.....not to mention the trailer jack, wench, safety equip, equip...... I had no idea...lol
The worst part is the guy swore up and down the boat didn't leak. But I figured at worst I could repair it if it did.
And here I am. I don't mind working on the boat....matter of fact I quite enjoy it. I've only got a pic of the boat itself and yess that is Quick Seal on the bottom...lol...hey if they can put a screen door in the bottom of one, I figured it should take care of a couple small leaks...lol I'll work on getting pics of excatly what i'm looking to fix. Thanks for your time.
