Hello I have an old sea king row boat that I bought just to run down the river fishing, I plan on coating the boat with bed liner. But I have about 6 rivets that are loose or missing in the bottom of the boat it was where a seat brace was and a previous owner removed it. Can I just weld these holes shut with some low temp rod ? Or should I put rivets back in the holes and seal over them ?

Or is there a better way ?

put rivets back in them. simply re-buck the loose ones.
