i riveted the whole thign up where it was broken and added soem marine type silicone for above an dbelow the water good for aluminum and good for saltwater so i think its good stuff just needs soem time to cure so i think tomorrow itll go on the water. and the guy i got the rods from on ebay hasnt responded to me and its been a week or so so i think im gonna cancel my payment and buy it from somewhere else

fill it up with watter in your drive way next time so you dont waist a trip to the lake or what have ya

i was told to do that but its the wrong type forcve on it and my driveway isnt level and i dont wanan put too much water and pop the rivets. and once im in the lake if i wanan fish im already there and plus ill have my fishing stuff in there already so if i wanan fish the boat will be aight. and plus it doesnt leak bad so i wont be worried bout it.
