[QUOTE="Vermonster, post: 254069, member: 7992"] Alternative to grinding would be drilling the center of the rivet. Get a decent drill bit though because cheap ones can snap off pretty easily (I learned it the hard way). You can then use a center punch and it should pop out. You can then use 3M 5200 and new rivets to seal any holes that would take in water. As "aeviaanah" said though - it's an important part of the boat structure, so if you remove it - you will want something in it's place. I would consider a larger platform in the front as well.
