Whats the best way to install poly on a aluminum hull the old poly was riveted on it.Can I rivet it back on or should I just screw or bolt it?is there any shops out there that will do it?
 
we are in brevard and we install poly u go can either way with installing it going back threw the old holes is a little cheaper do u have the ploy i can alos get it for u and its 80 inch wide no piecing it let me no what sz it is if your intersted pm me for a price
 
don't know is triple does poly or not but hamment and other places do it's just a drive .
yes you can rivet new poly, rivets are best next is ss bolts
 
IN MY OPINION RIVETS IS THE ONLY WAY TO GO WITH ALUM. OR GLASS.THEIR WILL BE NOTHING TO TEAR YOUR FEET ON.AND THEY DON'T CREATE DRAG IN THE WATER.
 
I WOULD HAVE THE HOLE WIELDED UP.BECAUSE THE FLATTER AND TIGHTER YOU CAN GET YOUR POLYMER THE BETTER THE BOAT WILL HANDLE.I LIKE TO LET THE SUN BAKE ON IT TO LET IT STRETCH AND THEN PUT THE SHEET ON 4X4 PATTERN. AND THE REASON FOR THIS IS WHEN IT GETS COLD IT CAN'T GO ANYWHERE,ON WHEN IT IS HOT IT CAN'T GO ANYWHERE. IF YOU TAKE A COLD SHEET AND OUT IT ON ,WHEN IT GETS HOT IT WILL GROW.AND THAT'S WHEN IT WILL RIPPLE IN BETWEEN THE RIVETS OR SCREWS.IF IT IS HOT AND STRETCHED IT CAN'T GO ANYWHERE HOT OR COLD.
