I want onion rings to taste good like when you buy them from the storeUm if you put a recipe can you make it only for only 15 or less people.
Here's a crazy idea I just finished restoring my boat, which originally had a rubber plug in it, and I went ahead and punched the tube out, bought a new screw-plug garboard and a tube of silicone, and mounted it right over the hole No leaks!
Sometimes the drain plug has a screw in the center.Turn this screw a few times and your feet will be dry.Or just purchase a new drain plug from your local marine supply.

Re buck the rivetsThe process involves putting a piece of steel on one side of the rivet and using a air hammer with a bit that fits the contour of the rivet on the otherSometimes whole boats will be rebucked to stop leaksAlluminum boat dealers with repair shops should be able to give you more information.
Your transom is rotten and will have to be replaced if you're hanging an outboard on itA few years ago that flange in the drain hole started letting water into the transom, which started the rot processIf you don't have an outboard, or if it's less than 10hp or so, and the rotted area isn't too big, you might could get away with a spot repairWorking from inside the boat, remove all the soft woodTreat whatever's left with bleach or ethylene glycol (antifreeze) - rot is a bacteria that will keep growing unless it's all removed or killedUse 3m marine wood filler (find it at west marine) or marine-texGet a replacement flange at West Marine or some other marine hardware vendor, you'll need a tool to flare the ends; a ballpeen hammer might do it.
