Default restoring aluminum hull

Say a guy was stripping the hull of a 76 Crestliner Nordsman II and successfully stripped the paint and shined it up with Toon Bright and even after the wife left with the kids and family dog due to his spending more time on the boat than with her, wanted to do more: to leave it as shiny aluminum in fresh water, is there a clear coat or clear sealant one would use?

She just didn't understand that you were doing this for her and the kids along with the dog. Didn't you tell her that ?

Do you plan on trailering this boat or leave it in the water ?
