[QUOTE="enginerd, post: 416946, member: 21309"] You've got quite a project ahead of you. As noted, the closed end pop-rivets and a good sized rivet gun are your best option. You could also opt to go with bucked rivets if you're looking to go back to original; I've never tried it. I echo your sentiments about the rotting wooden transom, but boat companies opt for it over aluminum to save cost. What are you planning to replace it with? Luckily, my transom is solid, but if I'd had to replace it, I was considering going with HDPE board. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
