The true downside is winter temps. That stuff does not with stand freezing or sub freezing temps wether in use or leaning against the shed. Get the boat off the ground, fill with water to a point, go under and Mark the bad rivets with a sharpie. Flip the boat drill out the bad rivets, no buggy. Reinstall solid rivets, you may want to dab epoxy around the rivet before setting. I use a back steel and an air chisel/gun. Cheap ones work fine. I’m the type that Likes it done right. There may be lesser fixes. I finished a deep v 16’ Lund a month ago that now resides in Utah, chasing lake trout. Osky that i almost exactly the boat I am looking for , very hard to find 16 foot here so many 14 my son and I are both fairly large just us in a boat is going to be 600 pounds add any gear and it will go up from there. I am thinking 16 is better than 14 for the added weight I am looking at an 18' lund 1978 hull right now Last edited by GREENCOUNTYPETE; 10/11/20 11:10 AM.

I will probably drill out and replace the bad rivets as suggested by Osky. Will probably hammer out any dents as well. Just happy to be here.

As mentioned above, a cheap air chisel makes that also the easiest way to fix it and not just the best. Let's go Brandon "Shall not comply" with morons who don't understand "shall not infringe."
