Years ago I bought a riveted aluminium Richline boat it was 1969 I was just out of the Army. After many years of use it started to leak and the kids named it the brown leakier. I bought a new boat and gave the brown leakier to my son too use , I got it back 10 years later and you needed to wipe up the water and wring it out every wonce and a while manual bilge pump hehehe. I ask a fellow down at Cabelas if they had anything to fix leaking aluminium boats and he said yes. He came out of the back and had two green sticks of something and said get your propane touch heat the rivet and area around and apply this just like a glue. Clean around the area first that was ten years ago and you can walk around in your stocking feet now in the boat. They stoped selling it at Cabelas but you can buy it at Memphis Net and Twine Co 1-8oo 238-6380 its called Aluminum Boat Repair Stock No ABRR for just the sticks its all you need Wire brush or drill moter with one is all you need
