    Default Jon boat rivets


    Has anyone ever replaced any jon boat rivets? I'm looking at solid aircraft rivets. It looks like they could be installed with a couple of hammers (one on each side). I only need to replace about a dozen. I'm taking out the bass boat type front deck and installing a lower one so that I'm sitting down in the boat instead of on top of the boat.

    Personally, I prefer the closed end pop rivet and a little epoxy to fill the blind hole

    I like this but use "liquid metal" type epoxy. Devcon is the brand I have used. Ruff the edges with sandpaper to give it a bonding surface

    The blind closed end pop rivets work best and easier to get sealed. Where are you located. i got mine in winston salem, they have them in stock.
