With welding or brazing? I know typically with steel, it depends on how hot you get the weld, you want it hot, but not too hot or you can make it brittle right beside the weld.
Anyway, I've given up on it, I know welding can get expensive (especially TIG) and I have a total of about 10 to 15 inches that needs to be welded / fixed. I found two more cracks elsewhere in the boat last night as I was tearing it down for scrap
But, I am now looking for a 14ft flatbottom if anyone knows of one in good shape for not too much $$$
