78 starcraft rebuild

[seadog]

this is my first attempt at a rebuild project so any advise will be well appreciated i have a 78 starcraft that leaks preety good what do you suggest i use to replace leaky rivets, new rivets i assume but where can i find them and after i make the repairs to the rivets should i coat the inside or outside just to make sure its only a crabbing boat so it dont have to be beautiful

Lots of folks on the internet sell rivets. Grainger is one of them. You can also use stainless bolts/nuts. Post some pics of the boat and I can give you my opinion of coating the bottom.
