All of us have to learn a new trade when it comes to restoring our 'gently used' riveted aluminum boats. Disputably Starcraft boats are the most popular and prolific aluminum boat of all time and the same rivet questions come up time and time again. Rather than answer each and every question...
Im ready for rivets!! Weather is good..looks like about 50..all we're rivets that were trapped by trailers carpeted bunks.!! All foams gone..looks pretty clean,even before pressure wash..
I need to just do it!!!!!!! Im procrastinator and am looking for other projects...who has a V220 supermariner center console and how good does it handle big water..
Check out Aircraft Tool Supply(ATS) and some of their 4x rivet guns. I've been happy with mine. Tried it with the air hammer, which was fine for a couple of solids, but if you're going to be setting more than just a few, it's well worth the investment.
Hi..will do that..I just ordered or am set to order some solid rivets...reading the recommended rivets to use on my 1983 v220 supermariner..I think that's what it is.lol...from reading prior post I am double checking from those that have done it..my selection of rivets so far is 3/16 brazier head rivets in 1/2 inch long 7/16 and 9/16..maybe I should get 3/8 long? Main question is the softness..guy is trying to tell me I want 1100 soft cute aluminum..I remembered reading an alloy suggested hardness one..is anybody can come back and tell me which one..or give me a shopping list
Getting ahead of myself here...thinking about the flotation!! I know I've seen the ideas...now that im down to it...what is the BEST way? IM LOOKING FOR SOME RECOMMENDATIONS
