Boat needs some holes filled. Transom was missing and there are roughly 6-8 approx 1/4" holes where the transom once was as well as a mushed in corner on the starboard aft. Someone filled with what I am assuming is 5200 so obviously a small hole there as well.As far as the 1/4" holes go, what would be the cheapest and most effective long term repair (barring welding) to fill them? Could I just use use some stainless nuts and bolts and 5200 to seal? Would electrolysis be a worry  In freshwater with no electronics on board ? I have been cruising through some cheap rivet guns on harbor freight they also have aluminum w/ steel shank blind rivets as well, just not sure if pop rivets and 5200 will be reliable enough in these gator filled Florida Waters  :shock: . BTW half the 1/4" holes are below waterline. As far as the dented/hole area (without welding) what are my options , seems like a hard place to rivet a watertight patch.Sorry to be so long winded, lol. Great forum here lots of great info and helpful people.- Matt</blockquote>
