Web I got sidetracked with hunting season and am just now starting on the boat.

I am going to tackle this transom, then fab a deck out of aluminum angle/sheet aluminum, a floor from sheet aluminum and a few other small things.

I did get the trailer redone though. I just need to get it extended a little and a new coupler put on.

I restored a '74 1542 Duracraft and replaced a number of rivets after drilling them out. Nothing to it. It helps to have another set of hands to back up the rivet with a heavy sledge when you peen the end. The end of the rivet easily mushrooms. After I replaced the rivets, I filled the hull to check for leaks and there were none. I purchased the rivets at Grainger.
