[QUOTE="MrGiggles, post: 481646, member: 22613"] Getting coatings to stick to aluminum can be tricky. If it's peeling in some spots, it'll most likely continue. For that reason I don't think it is wise to top coat. I would do some exploratory peeling just to see how well it is stuck. If it is flaking off just from running in the water, a stout pressure washer might make short work of it. Unless the boat is in a slip, or you frequently bash it on sand bars and stuff in the river and want the protection, I don't see any reason to not leave it bare. [/QUOTE]
