Well since everyone has an opinion, here is mine. My previous tinny was riveted as were my buddies. All different makes and all had rivets come loose or fall out. When up grading a buddy of mine went for a cracker, a year later I got a Crestliner 1750. His boat was nothing but trouble from day one and to the point where he got rid of it and went to a fiberglass hull, fed up with aluminum hulls altogether.
This will be my 10 season with mine and other then some livewell pump problems it's been a good boat for keeping the water out. To answer your original question Lunker777, I'd say it's a good boat at a good price. I'd buy another Crestliner but wouldn't cross a riveted hull off the list. It will come down to the layout, storage, and price the next time around.
