I knew a guy that said his leaked at the rivets. Is that they only
way flat bottom boats are made, "riveted"? I just want one for small
lake fishing, What are the limits of one, do they tip easily? Thank
you.


Just one more thing about limits in regards to seaworthiness ... This
factor almost always depends on the operator's own
seamanship/skill/boat-handling ability. I have seen folks in a 24ft
Bayliner that could not handle 2 to 3-foot seas, trying to fish right
alongside someone in a 14 foot aluminum "row-boat" (powered of
course!) that was doing just fine. Again, never exceed your own
limits. Most importantly, KNOW what your limits are!!!!
