First post here. This site has helped me in the past to fix up my 1977 Johnson 6 horse I bought for $50 by just browsing so figured I'd ask a question of my own.
I picked up a 12' aluminum flat bottomed boat last year basically free but it leaks a decent amount. I wound the water weld to it in places I could definitely tell which helped slow it down. Don't want to bother getting it welded up or re-riveted as this boat is just going to be drug into a remote fly fishing pond in northern Maine and left there so I can just lug in the Johnson, throw it on and go.
I'D really like to seal it up as quick and cheap as possible since it could get stolen or crushed under a falling tree. I wanted to just buy a few cans of spray on truck bed liner and call it good. Not sure if anyone else has tried this with success?
I've read up on Gluvit but not 100 sure I want to spend the money on it as to coat the whole bottom of the boat it'd probably be close to $100.
Not that I don't have the money, just currently saving for a house, and I snowmobile, golf, etc. and the boat will only be used 6 times a year max most likely.
Thanks for any help, I am open to any suggestions.
