Aluminum can flex, especially in rough water, and unless a coating can flex with it, it will just crack. Either the boat is worth getting somebody that can weld aluminum, and have them tack where needed, or it is not. I bought a riveted aluminum boat many years ago, and spent a lot of time in it, but had to have it welded several times. Finally sold it as scrap! Get an all welded alum boat, or go fiberglass.
