[QUOTE="yeti meat, post: 506794, member: 34843"] Thanks for the sharing your experience with Marine Tex. That is what I was thinking. squeegee it on like bondo. take care of a wide area in a hurry. 30 years and it still holding is proof enough for me.. That would be optimal and the easiest way for me to get those halibut in my freezer where they belong. Do you remember what you painted it with by chance ? Sounds like the boat manufacturers are using cheaper alloys for some of the hulls. which is why some deteriorate before your eyes.. It would be interesting to find out what the best alloys are. and what they used on the Grumman and the duratech. I believe they used 5052 on this Lund and overall it seems in pretty good shape for being abused up here in the salt water. Looks like 5000 series aluminum alloys are optimal. it would be interesting to find out real world which ones are the best, and which ones failed. [/QUOTE]
