Repairing Old Boats Questions

[Deaf Wolf]

Hi, I'm new at this forum and I would like some suggestions on repairing my 2 little boats. I have a 1977 Montgomery Ward Sea King Model 60-501202R (a 12' aluminium square front Jon boat that is 32"wide on bottom), and a 12' Fiberglass Tri-Hull boat, no make and model. I did notice that the entire boat frame is wood, specifically plywood and 1 bys that is entirely covered in first erglass inside and out. My only concern is the aluminium boat that has a minor front end damage that popped the rivets holding the structural seat to the sides of the hull. While I can possibly fix that, I needed to know what kind of rivets to replace them. It's a one person job, I.e. just me fixing it up. Should I use solid end blind rivets? Enclosed are the pics of the damage.



Do you guys have any ideas?

Looks fixable, but most people are on boats this weekend, so be patient.

I am not familiar with these, but they all look like patches are likely. If you don't get reponses; repost.

Ok, do any of you guys (and girls) know this boat design on the Fiberglass boat? I can't tell if it's homemade or manufactured by a company, since it doesn't have a make, model, and year on it. Here's the pics:
