Hey there we just bought the boat, and well it rained really good here in bc.
I noticed after the rain some water dripping under the boat,long story short
I noticed a few rivets leaking, is there anything in can do to repair the problem?

The best way is to get to both sides and if they are not sheared would be to get a rivet gun and a steel block and hit them to tighten them up again. That may be difficult to do. Others have had success by drilling them out and using blind closed end rivets. I don't care for that but its a personal thing.
