[QUOTE="spanky543, post: 424546, member: 303"] Okay so I have got the garage all cleaned out this week for picking up my boat this weekend. The first thing I want to do is check it out for leaks since its been sitting for such a long time. When I first had it there was a hole in the aluminum at the transom. I ended up brazing it together with alumaweld and then I reinforced it with a bunch of bondo fiberglass and epoxy inside. I want to treat all of the seams for the rivets inside the boat. The last thing I want is a leak after all of the decking lol. I have been reading about steel flex or galvit(not sure if I spelled it correctly lol) What should I use for this? Is there a spray material or is it better to paint or roll it on. I am also wanting to change the interior color of the boat to a brown or tan color. I was thinking almost a bed liner texture or a textured paint for the exposed aluminum. I will be doing carpet on the decking. What are your thoughts? I am probably going to leave it in the driveway and fill it up with water lol! [/QUOTE]
