I'm replacing the plywood on the bench seats in my 15' Gregor. The old seats were attached with rivets, but I'm wondering if bolts would be better? The reason I ask is that I'll be installing a downrigger on the seat, and I'm not sure if rivets will be strong enough. The plywood is 3/4 inch MDO and I'll be putting a backing plate under the downrigger mount.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
