So as the title indicates im looking for advise or experience on bottom coating/ painting aluminum boats. Ive only ever owned aluminum boats but never painted them except for duck camo above water line. I recently bought a new to me 1999 lowe sea nymph 16’ and the boat is in great shape with no leaks. Had it out yesterday after i did some outboard work. Now that i know shes running good i have dreams of installing subfloors casting decks storage all the good stuff but that will take some time, money and planning before im ready for any of that. However i did want to clean the boat real good and paint the outside. Im wondering if painting the hull/ bottom is a mistake or seeing how it has no leaks presently may serve to prevent leaks. Any advise on paint vs epoxy and how to clean/wash and paint would be great!</p></blockquote><p></p>
