Rivets above or below vinyl on floor refurb

[cuseroller]

Gutted boat floor want to wrap my plywood with vinyl b4 I rivet down. I've heard and seen it both ways. Is there any issue with riveting over my vinyl. My reason for doing it that way is so I have no seams on floor. Vinyl came 6' wide so would have seams unless I individually wrap each strip of plywood. Thanks for any advice.

no issues except if you tighten down the rivits like they need to be they will tear though the vinyl, if not right away in a year or two they will. That may not matter much though because its not very noticable if the vinyl is glued down real good. You can get the larger headed rivets but they show more but hold great, but they will still tear though eventualy.
