Can someone tell me what this would look like on a boat?

Question

"the hull of the boat was studded with rivets and painted white" what is a hull of a boat and what does it mean if its studded with rivets?

Answer 1

Studded with Rivets.. ok boats made of metal alloys are studded with rivets. Wooden boats use other stuff to hold them together.  The hull of a boat is the front of it.. The stern is the back of a boat. Rivets hold metal pieces together...

Answer 2

Rivets, metal construction, from hammered iron to snap-off

aluminum.  Metal fatigue can occur after extended use so

examine using magnification lens seeking stress cracks on

materials so bound.  Most dramatic failures occur today in

aircraft but military land and sea history has likewise lethal

effects resulting from rivet use after exposure to extreme or

prolonged events.  Painting over rivet areas can hide signs

that could signal damage by accident or design.  Have seen

dented iron ore barge constructed using machine hammer rivets from more than one hundred years ago still in use.

Answer 3

Hull: is the part that make contact with the water and forms the sides above the water line.

Studded with rivets: Rivet is a method of joining two flat surfaces together. There are different rivets; on a plane they are flush  with the surface; on a boat the often protrude a little forming little dome-shaped bumps. In appearance you will see lines of these bumps on the hull where plates overlap.

Answer 4

The bottom,  look at a aluminum fishing boat.

Answer 5

the hull is the bottom and part of the sides.

studded with rivets, that would mean that the seam in the metal hull was manufactured with rivets..as opposed to wood and glue or fiberglass, rivets leave a little half round top to them. So down the side and bottom of this boat it would have little bumps in rows
