Question

I just bought an older 14' aluminum boat for cheap and plan on restoring it, and adding a few personal touches as well. Wasn't there was a thread a while ago that touched on filling holes in an aluminum boat. Mine is a 1960 Crestliner and has seen plenty of modifications, resulting in many empty holes and random bolts in the sides of the boat. What's the best way to fill them? Can a guy just braze them shut and grind smooth, or are rivets the way to go? If I had to guess, I'd say there will be something like 30-40 holes to fill, possibily more as the top trim is missing, and replaced by plywood sandwhiching the sides (that HAS to go!) Yeah, amazingly enough it holds water!
Thanks
