Hey guys, I have an old aluminum jon boat 1971. There are a couple tears in it that need to be fixed and I cant afford to get it done by a welder, if I could even find a welder who deals with aluminum. Does anyone have any inexpsive methods to fix these tears? the first tear is 5 inches long and is shown in 3 of the pictures at different views, it had a patch job on it but was not working so we took it off. The second tear is the 2 inch long tear. I figured the 2 inch tear might be fixable with some jb weld?? I have no idea how I'm going to fix the 5 inch rip yet.. Thanks so much for the help.
