Those rivets are only holding on the rail not holding the boat together in two parts. And most people would agree it isnt a good idea to seperate the two. Where is the hole? do you have pictures?
I actually just used the cheap preveal sprayers. Since it was only last coat I was mostly really only trying to cover up any roller marks. So it worked out pretty well. The next one i do though I wont to get a real gun and just gelcoat the whole thing and not do paint. The paint just doesnt...
So I posted the last pictures to my site. I am finally done with my fish will be taking it out in a couple of weeks will let everyone know how it goes. Thanks for everyones help. :p

So I replaced my old style with a new style rudder plate. i wasnt able to get the backling plate as high as I wanted to. Is this going to be an issue? The extension for the rudder is fine when rudder is on doesnt hit the hull. But the plate is about a .5" or so below where it should be I...

So after reading a couple of other threads I wanted to check to see if this is going to cause me problems later. When I repaired the bottom of my boat I did gelcoat over the repairs I did, but then I painted the rest of the boat. Is it going to be a problem that I did paint over the gelcoat...

After i did my repairs I redid the gelcoat in those areas. I did not go through the gel coat in other areas. I then primed the surface...
Thanks I appreciate it. I figured drilling them out was the best way I just wanted a confirmation. I am already doing some glass work on the top anyways. So I will probably just do that.
Thanks a lot
So I took off the coaming on the boat I am working on. And half of the hardware was missing and couple more pulled out when i was taking it off. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to remove the ones that are still in the boat so I can just rivet it back on when I am ready?
Thanks
I have seen these a lot on ebay it is sad that someone doesnt take the time to find it any other way on their own. Way I see it kind of what you get for not looking around.
Re: A few pics of what I had ahead of me, advice would be appreciated.
I dont really think they are 'rare' It is just the older year of boats. So I wouldnt be too concerned :)
