[QUOTE="YamahaC40Guy, post: 107312, member: 953"] So, my question about the marine rivets was born out of my plan to take-on this repair myself. This is that thread; https://www.tinboats.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=10369 Having talked to every marine service place within a 50 mile radius of home here, I think I've arrived at a plan. First-off, about 1/2 the places I talked to suggested that I take it to the shop that quoted me $1500 for the repair. Two of the others suggested that I reinforce/back-p the damaged area with a pc. of 1/16" aluminum sheet, with a liberal amount of urethane/marine caulking between IT, and the hull. They also suggested that I use standard pop rivets, and gob some of this caulking over them on the outside/inside. Having looked at the options, I was told that this style is almost totally self-sealing. https://www.avdel-global.com/en/products/breakstem-fasteners/avex.html Unless bassboy1 has his tutorial up soon, I may try this out. Any thoughts? [/QUOTE]
