[QUOTE="BillPlayfoot, post: 479945, member: 22157"] My 1976 Starcraft Mariner never had any leaking rivets. It developed a crack that ran along the hull for about 18 inches so in 2015 I retired that boat. My current boat, a 1961 AceCraft runabout, has no leaks, rivets or otherwise. I think I am just extremely lucky that no rivets leak. Some of my friends have rivets leaking in their boat. I help them replace and buck rivets every few years. I have rented riveted boats in the past that leaked. At the end of each day these boats would have maybe a half inch of water that I would try to bail most of it out. [/QUOTE]
