[QUOTE="Jim Brizzolara, post: 118649, member: 2418"] I thought about using pop rivets, but when they're installed a hole is left in the center. Plus I'd need to find some that are large enough to cover the holes. Maybe I'm getting too picky. It would be easier to use pop rivets than to talk my wife into going out to the shed in 15 degree weather to help me bang in regular rivets. By the way, this is a great site, and thanks for the help. I thought that I was the only one that liked aluninum boats versus fiberglass. The Duracraft that I'm working on was made in 1954 and the hull is in great shape. If it was fiberglass it might be a different story, plus I wouldn't have been able to drag it into the shed by myself. [/QUOTE]
