I have put Wetlander on four hulls, all of them aluminum, and have been less then impressed.
Its an epoxy type paint with silicone in it that makes a very slick surface.
My reason for installing it was to protect against rocks and other subsurface obstructions, that can punch through aluminum or easily gash it.
I bought it after hearing a lot of hype and doing a lot of due diligence. Paid big money for it figuring if it did what it claimed I'd be way ahead.
Despite following instructions to a tee, I find it chips and cracks easily. I'm thinking maybe because my boats are overturned for storage with bottom facing up to shed the weather, that the sun weakens it. Dunno.
Whatever the reason, I would not do it over. Just use good old oil based paint. Think camo, dull dead grass, olive drab, marsh green, etc. Which also chips and scratches but which can be touched up with a rattle can.
Luckily on the Wetlander, I saved some from each job (in my experience the colors didn't match, BTW, even with the same color code) and use that to touch up the chinks.
They say its good for airboat hulls in the marshes (in what by definition are non-rocky areas), but that's not my application. I'm a "tinny" boat fisherman..
