What size is the boat?
It's the 21' variation I believe.
Very common. But it’s literally few Weeks of Working on it after your day job. Not a big job at all. I did a 14’ Holiday in one month. New deck, wiring, bilge pump, carpet and seats. I didn’t do the transom at that time as it was okay
What's the drill size for removing these pop rivets?
That is how I do it. 3"cup brush on 2' drill extension and the shop vac to suck up the crumbs
Any issues with the steel from the wire wheel embedding into the aluminum. I did a little welding back in the day and I remember this being an issue for certain metals they could actually rust.
I did a coosa floor in my Holiday. The stuff it bulletproof, very nice product that will last forever. You can actually get them to custom make your transom if you send them a template.
solid rivets are going to be 3/16 or slightly undersized, pop rivets will be different sizes, just find the drill that removes the head without making the hole bigger.
This may carry over from some of the old ignition systems found in vehicles. I remember running into this on my old CJ7.
I'm going to be considering this!! Removing this wood and foam isn't particularly hard but I don't think I want to do it again.
the main issue is the wire bits being flung about and sticking in your arm or chest. wear a sweatshirt and face shield.
