Hey! So I was hoping to find some advice on what to do about my repairs that need to be done. I have a 14ft aluminum Jon Boat that has some cracks and a small hole. I’m not sure if I should bring this to a welder, apply JB Weld (or some other epoxy), or if I should do something else. Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

I tried uploading two two other pictures of the leaks but they won’t upload but they are on my profile if you would like to take a look at those as well.

Take the boat to your local radiator repair shop and have it welded

Ayuh,.... Welcome Aboard,.... Those breaks are Waayyy past an epoxy repair,....

Even just weldin' probably won't hold up, without welded in reinforcements,....
