I have a 15' 6" Grumman Aluminum boat and it leaks a little bit so used some truck bedliner coating to plug up some of the small leaks everything looked good so I decided to take the boat out and go fishing on Sunday.  I get the boat out and run to my spot and start fishing. I'm thinking everything is good until I start seeing some water in the bottom of my boat.  So i'm like what the hell why is there so much water in the boat.  I don't worry about it for the next 15 minutes and I turn the bilge pump on to make sure I can get some of the water out.  Then I start noticing a lot of water in the boat and the transom is only like 3 inches from water coming over it, so I start bailing water so I don't sink my dam boat.  When I get the water level low enough I decide to head back to the ramp, there is no way I am going to sink my boat. So I get the boat on the trailer and back to the house and I find 3 pencil size holes in the Hull of the boat.  I have no idea where they came from but they were sure leaking a bunch of water.  Today I went to Auto Zone and got some quick steel and plugged the holes from the inside.  They were all in a small area.  I'm gonna fill it up with water tomorrow and see if it still leaks. Hopefull everything is good to go now, but I still think i'd be worried about it everytime I take the boat out.

Has anyone ever plugged holes in an Aluminum boat with quick steel? If you did, did it work?  Do you trust it not to break of start leaking again?  If this doesn't work I don't know what i'm going to do.  I guess i'll have to start fishing out of my 12' electric Jon boat again.

I do not know anything about quick steel. I do know this stuff works well
