well i guess im back to shore fishingIll fix it for you and the only payment i ask is an aluminum jon boat.
and did you try this while the boat was in the water? lol just dont see that working out very well.This brings back some memories. We used to repair ours as kids by taking a lighter to a plastic worm and filling the holes with the melted pieces. I really recommend that you dont do that

lantz' tank service in indy has some awesome aluminum welders there. call them and see if they will fix it. tell them you know Tom Lantz and he said for you to call them since you're closer to indy than evansville. they might give you a discount.i was given a 14 foot jon boat with motor and trailer. getting ready to take it out and looked it over and to my surprise it was riddled with patch work and some unpatched holes. anyone have advice on the best way to fix it without throwing the boat away
Good advise, if you want it fixed right, but since he said riddled with holes, it might not be worth the cost.lantz' tank service in indy has some awesome aluminum welders there. call them and see if they will fix it. tell them you know Tom Lantz and he said for you to call them since you're closer to indy than evansville. they might give you a discount.
i found these on cabelas website, gona give them a try. if it doesnt work i will try the aluminum rods with a torch.These are great! Can get them from Bass Pro and maybe others. This is a light green epoxy material that you heat with a torch and it bonds permanantly to aluminum. Used on a 10' jon that had leaky rivets and a 6" tear. Never had trouble after putting it on. Takes paint well too.
