[QUOTE="Alan, post: 276338, member: 9571"] I just purchased a 1984 T14SF and your the first one I have found doing a restoration. Hope to see the rest of yours... I would love to see how you took out the seats/compartments. Mine are riveted into the sides of the boat and are screwed into the floor, which is rotten. I would like to remove some of these compartments to do a proper floor replacement. I have no experience with riveting, so I am a little worried about removing any rivets that could potentially cause leaks. So my question is did you remove rivets from the side of the boat or the brackets that connect the boxes? I was thinking that removing the compartments from brackets (thus leaving the rivets that are through the boat hull undisturbed) and then re-riveting these back with pop rivets may be the best solution, any thoughts? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
