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

If it's not leaking why mess with it? The only place it can leak is at
the seams so spraying something on the whole boat probably wouldn't do
much. If the seams start to leak I doubt that anything sprayed on the
inside will keep the water back.
