[QUOTE="russ010, post: 71521, member: 677"] For the rivets, before drilling out and replacing, try this... put something heavy, like the end of a sledge hammer on one side, and then have some one tap it on the other side with a lighter sledge or a hammer. Many times this will tighten them back up and solve your problem. As far as your drain plug... It's good to have if you leave your boat in the weather exposed to rain. This will allow the boat to drain while it's "by itself". If you cover it and no water seeps in you can plug the hole, but you're going to need a bilge pump in the back to get rid of excess water you may get in the boat - my boat will fill up fast if I'm out fishing while it's raining.
