Im in process of re-gelcoating interior. Last place to sand is where the serial number is stenciled on interior of transom, also the capacity plate is rivited on gunnell. Should i just tape off the stencill or try to replicate later? With the plates should i pop them and then re-rivet later. Thanks.

Take the time to tape off the stencil and gelcoat around them.

As for the HIN tag, drill out the rivets and reinstall.
