Forest, I fixed my old boat that had a couple of rivets leaking without pulling up the deck. There are two ways to do it, the easiest is just to use the flex seal and paint it over the rivets on the outside of your boat. If that option does not appeal to you the other option is to drill out the bad rivet or rivets, then when you put the new rivets back in, just put sealant on the rivets, when you shoot them back in. The way to check where the leak is located is to fill up the inside of your boat with water, then just figure out where the water is coming out.
