Hello,
We have an 18' x 8' aluminum flounder boat which we are restoring. One of the major issues we are noticing is small leaks around the riviting and seams of the hull.
I have heard from other "airboaters" about a polymer bottom used to strengthen and seal aluminum hulled boats.
My question. Does anyone make a product that can be applied to the bottom of an aluminum hull which will seal small leaks, and add to the durability of the hull? I've thought about epoxy paint, but i'm concerned with potential for stress cracking.
Any suggestions...
Thanks in Advance,
