This goes back a few years but I did a little fix it and paint on an old one I used to have.
I was recommended a product called Gluvit to seal the seams and I did so on the bottom and it worked great. This stuff was expensive but works real well and dries hard and flexible as it is made for boats.
I then stripped the old paint and sanded up the area I was going to paint up. Got some special aluminum primer and aluminum paint and painted her up. Looked good and ran leak free form many more years.
I did the carpets as well and when don looked like an almost new boat again.

Did the outside a couple years ago and never sealed it and it got the oxidation scale built up in a couple weeks after use.
Anyone ever seal the outside of an aluminum boat?
Would also be looking at stripping the paint on the inside and laying down a grippy box liner type material.
Anyone done this and have words of wisdom to share?
