aluminum boat repair

[Jeff]

Have a 16' aluminum tracker boat. Noticed 2 places there is a x shaped tear a couple inches long with the rivet in the center. should I have a plate welded over this spot? or is there an epoxy that will fix this sort of thing?

Ya might want to have it welded to be safe. Some BOCES will do it for a nominal fee.
