I think you should absolutely tap every rivet... I did two waves of rivets because I only replace the loose and missing rivets at first , then I flipped the boat and sure enough a dozen more popped...., so I went around and any one a little corroded I popped out, and I tapped all the solid looking rivets , and I bet another half dozen popped off!!! I would have hated it if I had put $1000 worth of paint on that hull, then started dealing with popped rivets after I loaded the boat onto the trailer a bunch of times!!
