[QUOTE="MrSimon, post: 299745, member: 5461"] In my opinion, the best thing you can do for your hull is to make sure all the rivets are tight and leave it bare. Leaks are almost always because of leaky rivets that can be replaced easily and cheaply. Aluminum is tough stuff and will take a LOT of punishment. It doesn't need to be coated. If you put bedliner or whatever on your boat, you'll eventually end up removing it for one reason or another .... and its a pain. Bedliner is also quite heavy, will chip on rocks, and can hold moisture against your hull causing corrosion. There is a reason why new boats come bare or with only a coat of paint. [/QUOTE]
