That depends.... will any of the rivets be below the waterline? If
they are a "pop" rivet they will likely leak and a solid aluminum
rivet will be a better solution...

Get solid Truss head rivets. Just Google for tools and rivets. I think a
pound of rivets will be abou $15 and the hand tool should not be more than
$10.
