[QUOTE="BigTerp, post: 416492, member: 9169"] FWIW, I installed my aluminum floor with closed end blind aluminum rivets. Nice and strong. My captains seat is bolted to the floor and then through another piece of aluminum under the floor that rests on aluminum angle between the ribs. Sort of a frame to help reinforce the captains seat. This is all riveted to the ribs and angle under the floor to secure it down. No issues in the 3 years it has been like that. I have also used rivnuts for my driving light mounts and my trolling motor mount. They are very strong and take the abuse I put on my trolling motor with ease. Only problem with them is removal. I've had to remove a few for various reasons and some of them ended up in a mess, especially the ones that lost their "grip" and started spinning. [/QUOTE]
