Can you drill out the inside rivets and when they are loose tap them out the back? That way the outside of the boat should not have a larger hole.

You can always add washers to the inside of the rivet or a plate.

I think I might be able to keep it clean if I use a step bit or just use a 3/16 then gradually move up until the rivet head pops off.

I just wonder if the machine bolts will actually be stronger and a better option than going back in with pop rivets?
