Aluminium boat repair in GTA

[liskoville]

Hi, I have a 16 foot Aluminium fishing boat that has sprung a leak. Any recommendations of boat repair shops in the GTA that would be able to help me out?

Thanks in advance!

It is a riveted hull.

What type of boat ? Is it just leaking at a rivet or did a whole seam open up ? Sometimes reseating the rivet(bucking) can be done at home or a little dab of JB Weld around the rivet will seal it up. We had a gash repaired once (welded) and it was not cheap !

Jb weld is good. I used a marine putty and it looks like play dough. Dries grey and hard. It stopped all leaks and takes a beating.

Not sure where you live but if it is rivet you can hammer it tight again also someone else mentioned about the puddy I hit a rock in my boat years ago it punched a hole the size of quarter used the aluminum repair puddy followed the instruction and it never leaked ,
