Trying to get her on the water this weekend for the first time in many years!

Anybody have some insight on this one? About 8 feet of the outer rail has come unattached. My dad took this side off 10 years ago but forgot how. I'm guessing it must be riveted (you can see the holes). It has to be done from the bottom but there is no visible access. Does that outer black plastic trim have to come off, and if so do I just drill out the rivets at either end and pull it out?
Thanks!

pull the rub-rail bumper (use your fingers, its easy-peasy), under that are screws or rivets
