Fill up the holes with plasty Bond stuff sticks to anything as long as it is
cleaned of scale, rust and paint.

My 14' aluminum jon boat has the bottom liberally coated with asphalt
sealer, or "black mammy" as my dad calls it.

Mind you, this is not a boat I show off, or brag on. It's the one I use
for running a trotline, or poking around in backwaters. The 1950's-vintage
Johnson 3hp is plenty to push it along with the kids and me on board.

For a $150 jon boat, I wouldn't worry about having it riveted or welded. A
little tar should do the trick.
