Thread: making my alicraft watertight

We have reseated some of the flat solid rivets. Time will tell if they worked. So far we have just been drilling our pop rivets and putting solids in their place

The plan ATM is to bother the sheet metal workshops my boss has an account with for an offcut of Ali sheet metal for a good price.

The rot is bad in some spots. but the rivets are quite cheap off Ali Express. I got 100 of them inc shipping for 20 bucks. Same stuff locally was 120 bucks for 100.....

She is still worth saving and still economical to do so. She has a nice deep V and should be a great Tinny.

End goal is to rivet some 3mm Ali angle into various bits of the stern to get her tightened up for a 15hp yamaha.
