Waterproofing Aluminum Riveted Boats
MMC..thanks for your advise.
I looked up this product on the net and it seems like if I do use this
I would be applying this along the seams where the rivets are inside
the boat.
Not sure where I can pick up this product and how much would be
required for a 14ft boat.

I would think a good, thick paint on the outside of the hull would work
better than what you propose. Coal tar epoxy would seal it up real well and
not cost an arm and a leg.

I recently inherited a 14 foot aluminum riveted boat from a family
friend.
This boat is in decent shape and I was advised there are no current
leaks with this boat.
I am planning to fix this boat up a bit by putting in floor
boards/carpeting and a few swivel seats.
My question is, is there something I can spray or apply to the bottom
of the boat (inside) that will make it waterproof?
I watched a show on the channel World Fishing Network where a couple of
hosts sprayed something and made the boat waterproof. I just cant
remember what it is.
I am trying to avoid having to use putty or something to make bandage
solutions to any leaks.
This is my first boat so any help is much much appreciated.
Thanks,
Gary
