Hello everyone,
I just bought an '88 Sea Nymph 220 GLS a few weeks ago.
The boat is in great shape for its age. But there are some things that need to be repaired to get it up to spec. The first thing I did was rip out the old vinyl flooring (it was loose, ripped, and dirty). In doing that I found out a couple of things. First the entire floor is aluminum...yeah
, no need to worry about rotting wood or replacing that. But there are A LOT of rivets that are either missing or broken that hold the floor down. What is the best way to replace those rivets? Rivet gun? Also what type of rivets should I use? I have starting looking, I didn't realize there were so many different types . Any help with that would be greatly appreciated!
I am sure I will have more questions as I get more into this project.
Thanks,
Chad
