I have a fibreglass boat that I am fixing up. The previous owner tried restoring the boat without finishing it and it was left to sit outside. I'm not looking at starting over and fully restoring it but fixing what is left to get it in better condition.
The floor is currently made of stained plywood sheets. They are still in good condition. I am planning on sanding them down and painting them, along with the interior sidewalls of the boat, with high quality non-skid outdoor paint. I decided to do this because its cheaper and easier than carpet and people always complain about having to replace carpet when it rots.
I was wondering what could be done to fill the seams between plywood sheets and the gaps at the boat sidewalls. The gaps along the sidewalls are up to 1" in. I'm just trying to prevent the seams and gaps from holding water and filling with dirt, fish hooks etc. It would also look nicer with finished edges.
Is there a resin or epoxy product that would work for what i'm looking? Maybe wood filler?
Pics attached. Thanks for any ideas.
