You can pick up a tube of marine silicon for about $6 at FF. If that doesn't work, I'd try an aluminum patch kit. I'd use the marine silicon on both the inside and outside of the boat. The tough part is finding exactly where the leak is coming from. If you don't know exactly where the leak is, fill your boat up with a couple inches of water and watch the bottom of the boat to see where the leak is coming from.

I have also heard of using the "spray on" or "roll on" bed liner on the inside of the hull as well. Never done it myself but I've heard several tell me it worked just fine. The aluminum must be cleaned and degreased very good tho.
