[QUOTE="jigngrub, post: 352922, member: 6657"] You can get a cheap heavy duty rivet setting tool for $20 at Harbor freight. https://www.harborfreight.com/heavy-duty-17-1-2-half-inch-hand-riveter-with-collection-bottle-66422.html Rivets are $10-$20 per hundred from JayCees: https://www.rivetsonline.com/rivets-en/blind-rivets-en/closed-end-blind-rivets.html For most boat work you can get away with 3/16 and 1/4" diameter. Most boat rivets are 3/16 but it's good to have some 1/4 on hand if you have to oversize a hole. For the length/grip range .125-.250" is most common and will get just about everything done. So, you can get a rivet tool and 200 rivets that'll do just about everything you need for $50 plus shipping. [/QUOTE]
