I am looking for suggestions on a epoxy based bottom paint for my aluminum boat. The boat is kept on a lift or on trailer all the time. Not really worried about marine growth.

But I am looking for a paint to more protect my bottom from corrosion and wear from the bunks and lift.

Any suggestions?

Im getting some corrosion on my boat, and found a cut positive connector touching bare aluminum so hopefully the problem is taken care of. I used a multimeter after I fixed this connector just to check and see if there was anything else. I did this by touching the negative side to the aluminum trail...

Gaudet 36

Started Decking it last week and the fuel tanks will be going in next

Has anyone ever tried a ceramic type coating or additive to paint and coat with that?

Is this possible? Is there some kind of coating I could put in a aluminum fishbox to help it hold ice? If not any ideas of what I could do

Yea Wdkerek I have seen your boat out there and I saw it on this site so I figured I would show mine too. Nice looking rig by the way. How do you like it so far?


Got the gill bracket on and they flipped the hull and got all the seems welded up. Started tacking the up console

Ok guys the sides are on starting to take shape nicely.

Close to 400 gallons of fuel entry is 40 degrees and the dead rise is 22. Draft is 1'8"

Im gonna stick with twin 350 Yamaha's I think, it definitely would be nice to come in from the canyon on two if I lost one but I like to keep it pretty simple.

Yea probably somewhere around 11 or 12k

The boat is being built at Gaudet boats, its was not a kit we had a navel architect design it. After he was done though its like putting the puzzle together now all the pieces fit together without out any other cutting other than the original cuts at the water jet. The plate is 5/16" on the bot...

I thought I would share my boat build as this is my first aluminum boat and I'm sure I will be seeking any helpful info during the build. The design process took almost 6 months and welding started about 2 weeks ago.
