recently came into possession of a 14' Lowe lake Jon, transom is gone, and there are a few rivets needing replaced. The motor is 9.5 Johnson, still considering going with a solid piece of treated 2x8 for transom, or should I use the stacked and sealed plywood method.

IN time I intend to fully convert this rig into my fishing buggy dream, and I will post pics eventually.

Also, rivets, they seem to be difficult to find so I may consider going with some SSteel nuts and bolts?


thanks in advance for any suggestions or ideas
 
I agree, treated lumber in an aluminum boat is a no-no.

You can find any kind of rivet you'll ever need here:

Aluminum rivets are much cheaper than SS hardware... plus they look more professional (factory).
