I have a 70's model 14 ft duracraft I use for yoyoing, frogging, etc. last year it started popping rivets really bad. I used SS carriage bolts with flat washer, silicone, and lock nut. Also replaced the transom using the same method. I've ran yoyo's twice and went jugging a few times without any problems.

Don't use SS. Dissimilar metal's are asking for corrosion.

If it were me, I would grind off the heads of the rivets and punch them out. Just the ones at the top of the knee and transom. Leave the bottom knee rivets in place. Just pry the knee away from the transom to replace the plywood. Then bolt back with brass nuts, washers and bolts and a dab of 5200.
Or have it weld back up.
