Are they pot metal ones?

Plastic?

When I had the shop, I picked up tips from my uncles body shop and really liked this crap.  http://3mcollision.com/products/tapes/attachment-tapes/3m-automotive-acrylic-plus-premium-attachment-tape-06389.html   Better be spot on when you go to stick em'.  You get one shot at it.

Good luck.

That's how they were put on originally on every boat I've had. Visually and historically correct, AND simple and quick!  ;)

I want to use a pop rivet but its a blind hole and I don't think the rivet will sinch in the back cause fiberglass is soft.  I think it needs metal to hold it tight.

Get a small piece of aluminum.... Drill holes to match the holes on the emblem.  Use the aluminum as a backer....

Yes , that would be an issue..... !!

If that's the case, and the FG is soft, them an adhesive is the ticket.... As previously discussed here.
  I have a small emblem on the rear of my floaty...I put it on with silicone and it has been in 2 seasons now.   I lightly scuffed the gelcoat with 800 grit and the applied it.

2 sided grey tape from home d works well. I have it on my boat, 56 and Titan. You can cut it to exact shape with a breakaway knife/blade. Liquid nails comes in small personal size tubes as well. I used the nails for my bilge pump mount and float switch.
