[QUOTE="aeviaanah, post: 227036, member: 6493"] I had to take the gusset off as well. Go ahead and grind em off from the bottom of the boat, then beat it thru from the outside in. You can go and buy some aluminum low profile tinners rivits. I got a few, if you cant find any shoot me your address ill send ya some. They should match your boat as they match mine. You will need a setting tool, its basically the profile of the rivit. I took a piece of round bar and drilled a hole this goes on the head of the rivit...then someone else can beat the shank which swedges it out and creates a seal. Since its the bottom of the boat, you may not need the tool, it will just flatten the head of the rivit...taking away from its nice appearance. If you decide to do the bolt idea, it shouldnt leak with 5200 but a aluminum rivit will look better and last longer. [/QUOTE]
