Penalty and weight. A welded boat cost more and weighs more. Takes an extra hp for every 25 lbs of added weight. Drinks more gas!! If your scarcely fishing go with a high quality riveted boat. If your working construction go with the welded rig. I own

Welded stronger. Rivets can "m" in the holes & elongate the holes, causing wear and leaks. Welded is a greater expense.

welding every underwater thickness is going to be expensive, instead try coating the outside of the seams with either a good caulk [ rtv for one] or using a commodity like devcon aluminum patch. any work has to be on the outside otherwise the water will

If you knockabout is succeeding to be hit regulary, I would make one think and fiberglass runabout will be more sturdy.
