what is the advantage to painting the bottom silver?i thought no paint is what you want

good point

the purpose would be to look like the higher line (faster) drives I guess

but the buddies boat IS not painted and the aluminum is tarnished a little ( fresh water) was wondering if painting silver woudl look better,

but if the advantage is lost, then the next question is how do you keep the raw aluminum looking good .
would polishing defeat the pursose like paint does, are there any magic cleaners that keep it looking good?
thanks

What boat did you pick up? You did sell the formula right?
