[QUOTE="MrSimon, post: 301985, member: 5461"] Does the boat currently leak? If not, I'd just leave it alone. Aluminum is darn tough and can withstand decades of being beached on gravel. Just don't run it aground at full throttle :shock: Steelflex is known to chip off on rocks relatively easily. And even if it doesn't chip off, down the road you might have a need to remove the Steelflex to fix the hull .... and that's a pain in the butt. I feel like a broken record on this, but I'm just a huge fan of bare aluminum hulls. Leaky rivets can be replaced and cracks can be welded for about the same (or less) money than Steelflex. [/QUOTE]
