[QUOTE="BassBlaster, post: 222978, member: 2865"] Oh, your first post made it seem like only one rivot. I would still rebuck or replace if you plan to keep the boat more than a couple years. Rebucking is very simple. Since you have a bunch of them, I would pass on the two hammers method and purchase an air hammer. I got one at Harbor freight for 13 bucks. It came with several bits and I turned one of them into a bucking bit in about 5 minutes. I can post more on that if your interested. It will require a buddy though. It takes about 5 seconds to rebuck a rivot. jigngrub has posted a thousand posts on replacing rivots with blind pop rivots. It requires a special tool as well and epoxy. I still dont feel like it's the best method but its definately better than just gooping some JB Weld over them. If your interested in his method it shouldnt be hard to find his links. [/QUOTE]
