reflooring 87 Starcraft Mariner-need rivet size

I am reflooring my 87 starcraft mariner and I am going to use 3/4" plywood. I am having a hard time figuring out what rivets I will need to secure the floor for 3/4: plywood. I know I want wide flange but what length do I need. A link to exactly what I need would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

Im NOT a"Tinner" but...I think these rivets would fit your needs https://www.nutsandbolts.com/large-...inum-aluminum-blind-rivets-qty-25-p-3094.html

Yeah 1" grip range is as long as they go and what you will need for 3/4" decking.

Would these work as well? http://rivetsonline.com/closed-end-blind-rivet-pr610aaph.html

No the grip range is barely over 1/2" and the flange is too small and wimpy. WOG posted what you need but they cost way more than rivetsonline which is where I buy my rivets too.

There's no need for closed end blinds for attaching the decking and you have to use large flange.

Still trying to figure rivets out, the closed ends are for places like the transom or where they may be exposed to water?

Yes exactly, closed end blinds are used for through the hull when you can't use solid rivets.
