I' ve got a riveted jon boat. What' s the best way to patch the rivets?

drill them out and put in a larger rivet you might get away with dabbing them with a good quality gutter seal the silver stuff. Or some Marine Goop , I' ll have to get back to you with the name of another brand. Its called Lexel. Supposed to be the best. They may carry it in your local HD

I fixed leaky rivets once with Sportsmans Goop. Never leaked again. 3M marine sealant works well also.

You could try this I have not used it but it looks like it would work I have seen it used at a sports show to fix rivets on a boat
