[QUOTE="brewfish, post: 34566, member: 550"] Thanks for the welcome everyone! I had read through member Ouachitas jon boat build and saw where he used it and was actually persuaded when I was able to see how it looked once applied to the bottom of a boat. I had been thinking about Gluvit but was hesitant since I've never seen it used. Steelflex OTOH has apparently been used for years on aluminum airboat hulls. I can only imagine what type of abuse their hulls take so i would think that this has to be a pretty tough stuff. That being said i'm [b]sure[/b] my 30 year old 14' jon could stand to have a coat of this stuff. I just don't want to get the boat assembled only to find a mystery leak somewhere in the hull. Or say run up on a oyster bar full tilt late at night pushing that almost leaking rivet over the edge......not that i've ever done that or anything. :- [/QUOTE]
