Go to www.westmarine.com and enter model # 87004 in the search box. I'm not sure if this is the same stuff I used; it looks the same though. It's a stick of putty that you Knead and patch your loose rivet or hole. It works very well and dries as hard as a rock then you sand to finish.

Bigfun - Silacone is for caulking windows. Marine Tex is a two part product that when cured is as stong as steel and the best thing you can buy for holes & cracks in most anything - ideal for boats & even cures under water. Keep the silacone for use in the home & away from boats.

If it's an aluminum boat, the best fix is to drive a standard aluminum rivet...If it's fiberglass, refer to excellent advice above... :D

It can't be to pour money into, it is only a SMALL hole. To pour money into it has to be a big hole, a great big hole!!!!!
