i have a 14 ft aluminum flatbottom and ive got 2 pinhole leaks one in the back next to the gas tank and one on the side they dont leak much but im not sure what would be a good sealent. ive been told silicon but i dont know if theres something better.

if its not a high stress area, you can JB weld it

I patched 4 holes on my boat with it... 3 that were over 1/8 inch diameter and one pin hole... they are no longer a problem!

I've even sanded it smooth and painted over it with no problem

$5-6. It will plug your holes and leave you plenty of extra.
