[QUOTE="Ail, post: 363614, member: 14963"] Rivets you can drill the head off and measure the diameter of the remaining shaft or the hole itself in the boat to determine what size rivet you need. Mine are 3/16". Use sealed rivets if you can since they are water tight. It's probably easier to paint everything at once, but also easier to strip the boat bare for cleaning and prepping to paint, so do whatever works for you. Just make sure the new rivets are long enough to expand behind the two pieces you are riveting together. Seal them with 5200 for added insurance. Regarding your transom, if you can push your finger in it and make a dent anywhere, that's not good. Soggy, dark discolored wood is also not good. Lastly you can take core samples if you want and fill them in if the transom is sound. [/QUOTE]
