Do All Aluminum Boats Leak??
2008 Tyee 1850, dealer fixed, then factory fixed (2 yr ago) , rivets fixed but now leaking worse than ever along keel. Did I buy a lemon or do all boats leak?

No, you probably have a defective hull.

When I purchased my 1988 Alumacraft and started my rehab 2 years ago, I did a leak test. I found that old age had shrunk the gasket material along the seams, on the keel and a few spots near the bottom of the transom. I resealed with 3M5200 slow cure..no leaks now.

My brother has a 2001 Creastliner 1850 Fishhawk, also no leaks. In fact My experience is that leaks are somewhat rare.

My 30 year old Lund Tyee 5.5 and my brother in laws 46 year old tyee(used to be mine) still bone dry. If your rivets are leaking Cabelas sold a plastic stick that when heated with a torch melted over the rivets. You heated the rivets then touched it with the stick,don't heat stick directly. Worked great to seal rivets on a 12 ft boat that leaked like a sieve.
