I'm rebuilding the transom on a Tracker Deep V17. It originally had bolts going through the transom and I was thinking on using rivets instead. The Phillips heads of the bolts got all chewed up and we're a pain to get out. I was looking at replacing the with hex head bolts or the closed end pop rivets but haven't found any long enough. I will need them at least 1 1/2 to 2". Other option is the solid rivet. I don't have the tools for solid rivets so I would need to get them. Not sure if it's worth buying all the equipment for the solid or just going back to SS Bolts. Or does anyone know a place to get long closed end rivets.
