Ok gentlemen advice time. I've had to drill out some perfectly good rivets to remove the floor and transom of my 16ft Starcraft. It pained me to do this but there was no other way to get everything out. I'm almost to the point were I'll be putting these pieces back in and need to order or buy some fasteners. Do I go back with solid rivets which will require an air hammer and a friend to hold a bucking tool on the other side of the rivet or do I just get some stainlees screws and nuts with washers? Some of the areas where the rivets or screws need to go are below the water line. With either method I would dip the fastener in Gluvit or 5200 before securing them down. Any thoughts?
