[QUOTE="sniperbrad, post: 104454, member: 1983"] I recently got a 1652 flat bottom and I got started today on the rebuild. Had to wait a few days because the kids just had to go camping this weekend and try out the new boat. Overall I love the stability of the boat and the kids love it too. The first mini-project is replacing the wood on the transom. I finally got the plywood out, but I had to remove a lot of rivets to do it. I am wondering what type of rivets to get to replace them and where to get them. I measured the hole they came out of and I think it is 1/4". Looked at HD today and of course they didn't have what I needed. They did however, have the primer and paint I am going to use when I get this done and the boat cleaned up. Here are a few pics of the boat the way it looked when I got it. I have already ripped out the rotten floor boards and little storage compartment. I am going to cut out the back seat and the front deck and put platforms on both ends, possibly putting two seat bases in the open middle area for the kids. [/QUOTE]
