[QUOTE="HOUSE, post: 174327, member: 4466"] I have a really long nose on my boat covered with 3mm thick aluminum. I don't think it provides much structural integrity, and it will be replaced by a front fishing platform anyways so I'd like to cut half of it out to make room to stand. I will also need to remove some of the rivets holding it in place along the edges. Any suggestions on cutting that straight across while still attached to the boat? Also, can I just hammer the bottom until the rivets pop out or is there a special tool for that? thanks! Here's 2 pictures of the part: [img]https://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x123/WAREHOUSE77/BOAT/PC200469.jpg[/img] & [img]https://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x123/WAREHOUSE77/BOAT/PC200476.jpg[/img] I want to cut it around here: [img]https://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x123/WAREHOUSE77/BOAT/PC200476-1.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
