I know how most rivets work, but these on my old boat just look SOLID. I want to remove the flooring and redo the layout. To remove the floor, I'm pretty sure I have to remove the console/livewell/storage to get this done. The console is attached to the wall with 12-13 rivets on the side of the boat. It is just screwed to the decking on the bottom.
These are samples of what they look like. These are remnants from a brace that one of the prior owners removed but just cutting the metal - I'll be redoing the brace as part of my renovation. Do I have to grind these rivets off (from the inside) to get them out? Doesn't seem like a drill would work that well.
Here's the boat itself. As you can see, there is not a 'seat' for anyone but the driver. I'll be moving the livewell to the middle of the front deck - extending the back deck to the driver's seat and installing a passenger seat (and jumpseats for the kids)- buiding storage into the front deck - recarpeting - and numerous other little touches. That's the plan anyway.
Thanks,
Will
