[QUOTE="mikejjmay, post: 449673, member: 23447"] I agree, better to fix the bones first then worry about cosmetics. You would probably be fine with closed end all aluminum pop rivets with epoxy, since you should be a bit above the water line, however i think most folks on here will encourage you to go with traditional rivets. Being as these will be supporting your whole deck and have some force on them, I would be inclined to agree to maximize your strength, etc. Additionally, since you would have very easy access to do these rivets, it would be pretty straightforward. Check out the youtube videos on the subject. You can do em by hand, or use a $10 air hammer with flattened tip and a chunk of steel. [/QUOTE]
