I'm wondering what paint I should use on the bottom of my 14' aluminum boat. I would like to use something durable, yet elastic. It is an ancient Sears boat, and the bottom has a few pinhole leaks from salt corrosion and I have fixed many others. I'm thinkng if I could put a "skin" over it, I might be able to stop the leaks.

Bedliner? Elastomeric roof paint?

The important part is the prep as for the leaks we have used glovit. Rick

Take a look at this product, ive used it on a few things including a lower unit and it is very durable.
Scroll down to the pics of the row boat, looks new.
also, dont get it on your hands... itll last about a week!
