[QUOTE="bassboy1, post: 251721, member: 55"] Yes I've seen this. Fortunately, every time I've seen it in person, the boats were used in freshwater, so the damage was much less extensive. I've seen pictures from certain builders that I know, and trust, of what the outcome is like in saltwater, and it isn't pretty. My uneducated opinion on the paint is that yes, it very well could prevent this from occurring. That being said, I've never had any first hand experience with paint under foam, so I will not say for sure. Furthermore, painting aluminum is also a subject for which I've got very little experience with, so I'm certainly the wrong person to ask in that regard. [/QUOTE]
