[QUOTE="jigngrub, post: 251788, member: 6657"] I buy a lot of rivets from these folks and they sell Rivet nuts: https://www.rivetsonline.com/rivet-nuts-and-threaded-inserts/k-series-ribbed-rivet-nuts.html As far as finding your ribs, the ol' tapping on the deck with your knuckles to find the solid sounding spot is about the only thing I can think of right off hand... or maybe contact the manufacturer for a drawing of the framing plan for the ribs in your boat. ... but if your installation goes anything like my various projects you'll find them by accident when you drills holes for the mounting fasteners.
