Leaking rivets

[The Quadfather]

I have had my Lund since it was new in 2007.
It is a rivited hull. Boat has been excellent for me in all functions. Now at 10 years it is taking on water, I expect it is weakening rivets.
I cannot find any loose rivets upon inspection, so minor loose rivets, but still this means the transom end of boat has water above the floor line after a full day of boating.

My question is, I am at a crossroads in terms of of this gives me a good excuse to seek a new boat.
But I'd like to know how difficult or what procedure has to happen for the bad rivets to be found and fixed? I don't want to do it myself, no matter how easy. Is it costly, and is it the befinning of chasing more rivets?

I would start by pulling the boat out on the trailer, then put some water in and see if you can spot the leak(s). It may be your drain plug or a thru hull fitting.

Once you see where its coming from, then make a decision and or get some quotes.

On the other hand, if your ready for a new boat, list that one on CL and go shopping

Plus one on Larry's advice. Pull the boat and fill with water look for leaks and go from there. That much water after one day? You have a major leak, check your plug and anything that has been bolted thru your hull. Should be an easy find with that much water coming in.

Agree with suggestions above. Easier to find a leak when boat is on the trailer and water in boat.
