Aluminium Boat

[amkulic]

Hi,

I have an 8ft aluminium boat which I got for just $220 but it has a small hole in it about the size of a finger nail.

Ive tried just about everything to fix it, including aluminoium rods with a blow torch.

I think I will get it professionally done now....does anyone know how muchh it should cost for a welder? or any locations on the north shore??

Thanks for any info or advice

how much do you think it would cost?

Cause I have called and emailed people and the prices were between $80-120! (thats half of what my boats worth! )

sorry lads i cant fix it but i think that if you cant get it done for that your being ripped off!

Mate of mine had a hole similar size and simply used two inches of that heavy tape they use in waterproofing. I think it has a base of tar of some sort and you heat it up. He then just painted over it cost him nothing.

My grandfather has a small hole in his tinney that he filled with mastick and that has lasted over a year now.
