[QUOTE="Jake11, post: 389406, member: 14133"] Looks like an improperly maintained salt water boat to me. I bought a 14 ft alumacraft a couple years ago down in VA that had about ten layers of house paint on the bottom and when I removed it, it looked just like that. Guy had left it docked in a salt creek behind his place forever. From my experience 5200 is your friend. If you're putting a whole new sheet of alum on the transom I would slather that whole sucker with 5200 before you bolt it on. Let it cure properly and you'll never have another problem with it. I have about a 4 inch crack in the hull near a flex point of that same alumacraft that has held up with a bead of 5200 for 2.5 seasons now. Good luck and its coming along. [/QUOTE]
