[QUOTE="Macrosill, post: 427557, member: 11079"] I have read here on Tin Boats that the aluminum rivets with stainless steel mandrels hold better than the aluminum mandrels because the stainless takes more force to snap thereby clamping with more force before snapping. Just what I read. Is this really not a concern? As for the solid rivets above the water line, I guess it is somewhat of a psychological thing. Holes in a hull are bad! LOL. The areas I plan on mounting angle to the hull are reachable on both sides by one person. Mostly withing 6-18 inches below the gunwales, well within arms reach. [/QUOTE]
