Question
I was curious if it was ok to use my aluminum boat in brackish or salt water? If it is ok what precautions should i take to protect my boat?

Answer
Dear Tony,

A beer can will dissolve in salt water with in months. I would suggest coating the hull with a phosphate primer, and then an antifouling boat bottom paint. The Urethane Teflon found at www.boat-bottom-paint.com is one source.

Best of luck.
