[QUOTE="orttauq, post: 427223, member: 21970"] How are you filling the holes? I have been trying to find a used pneumatic rivet gun and some standard airframe rivets (the Lowell was built by ex Boeing aircraft guys) The guns are very spendy even used, but I would like to keep with the airframe rivets rather than something else. I only found one missing structural rivet but maybe 50-60 holes drilled in over the years. Transom looks real good, knee brace it solid. I have some marine grade 11 ply plywood to go in once I get the metal painted. I plan to then paint the plywood too. [/QUOTE]
