Location: Athens, Ohio
I have an aluminum Basstracker that had a similar problem. I jacked up the boat/ trailer in the garage and filled it up with water from a garden hose about a foot deep, then marked the leaks and drip areas with a grease pencil. I got one of those wire buffing wheels that goes on a drill and shined up the problem areas, then hit it with JB and that worked fine. Boaters World has some paint on epoxy but I would have had to flip the boat to apply it - too much trouble. Bass Pro also has some epoxy sticks that you heat to apply, again, flipping the boat. Good luck with yours. m
