I'd have to dissagree on shooting rivets in an aluminum boat "wet'
Been around and worked on a lot of them already as well as aircraft
for over 30 years and there is very few areas where there is a need to
shoot a wet rivet or fastener, with the fuel cells or pressurized
cabins being the most common areas. A properly installed rivet shuld
not leak period. An aircraft is not in a wet environment per se, but
flying at high speeds in rain will certainly push and make water get
into areas its not supposed to be in and still they are not shot wet.


Most rivets used on aluminum boats are upset or bucked, not pulled!
