I've got a 10' aluminum bateau that I use as a tender/clam skiff. The grooves (chines?) on the bottom have worn out in some places, mostly from being dragged across mud and scraping rocks. I've used marine-tex to fill in the holes, but this only lasts a little while. Seems like I wouldn't be able to get fiberglass to adhere to the aluminum. What do you guys think? I was thinking about laying some fiberglass strips over the chines with epoxy. If this isn't an option I guess I'll 5200 some starboard strips to the bottom with maybe a few screws. Thanks for any advice.
