Micheal,

Give me a call. Sounds like you have an aluminum boat, but at least I can point you in the right direction.

What type boat and where are the rivets located.. are they under the front deck?

If so the deck will have to be removed for access to shot solid rivets or you will have to use blind/ Cherry Max rivets and sealant. Hopefully here are no tears in the structural angle that forms the keel seam.

I know a thing or 3 about replacing rivets... and am currently working at Gainesville Airport.. not far from Moss Lake. If you want to bring it by for me to look at give me a holler.

I hope you took the cleco out of there before you closed it up. LOL

That Cleco was in the bottom. aft of the center fuel bay between the red and white rag.. so you tell me?
