irishfield Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 I know it's hard to see in the photos but this is right on a bend in the hull so I don't think a rivet will work ..what I was getting at Grimace.. and Skinny.. you don't think wings are flat do you? A proper rivet will, or can be formed, to fit just about anywhere. If you were closer it would be fixed already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A proper rivet will, or can be formed, to fit just about anywhere. If you were closer it would be fixed already. Tim , bring your boat up to the shop. Its a two minute fix with buck rivots.

Tybo Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 when someone asks a question, no matter the subject, i would expect different people would have different solutions. If you be in the trades.A comment like this would get you fired in the tech trades. For there is only one solution.THE RIGHT ONE! If you only what to be a handy man do what ever. Safety depends on the right solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
