Practicing and having a professional do it is two different things.

Doesn't Lowe have life time warranty on that seam? At least to original owner. Hope so since I own a Lowe.

Probably gonna have to turn over to fix it properly. For any type of sealing, pour in or welding, the area has to be very clean. Had my Bass Tracker which had a removable tank, welded earlier this spring. The weld would just blow back out because of the crude that was in the cracks. Aluminum has to be very clean to insure a good seal.

It's a 2000. I am not the original owner. In fact I just bought it. He told me it had a leak and it has been sitting for a couple years. I got a good deal on it, bought it for a project. Haven't thought about a warranty not sure I want to fight them though.

I used to work in a Machine/Fab shop that built and repaired fuel tanks for farmers around here and as long as there is no standing fuel in the tank, they can just purge the oxygen from the tank with any displacement gas (ie argon/stargon) and weld away. We always used a hose ran from the exhaust pipe on the forklift and welded on the tanks. As for the TIG welding, doesn't work very well on boats. You can't lay a wide enough bead most times without burning away the parent metal because its been eroded by electrolysis. Most shops and boat manufactures use a spool gun, which is like at MIG welder for aluminum, but the wire is mounted on the gun and pays out very fast and hot.
