I have a ~30yr old 2-man boat with various spots that the previous owner had repaired multiple times. I think he must have used JB weld but these repairs or at least 15yrs old. The last time I had the boat in the water was 2006 and the hull pontoons (not aluminum) filled up but the boat was still useable with 2 people. It was very heavy to drag out of the water though.
I have "been meaning" to repair it for years. I don't think any of the existing repairs are on the bottom of the hull and are more at the seams or up top where the plastic weakened and split. I need the best "stuff" to try new repairs; whatever it is will need to be plyable and the bonds last a long time. The boat is not fiber glass. I was sot of thinking some sort of plastic weld putty or the radiator repair epoxy (maybe with the fiber mat).
Can anyone weigh in who's faced a similar repairs? I used some real popular white stuff (forgot the name) on a minor jetski hull repair once but it was made for fiberglass boat hulls...this is all plastic.
