Silver...I obsessed over the same issue for many weeks. I contemplated other options, oil primer and oil paint..However after all the effort to get to the wood in the wings, I broke down and decided to go with the advise given here. I was actually ordering West Systems epoxy when they told me about 'total boat' 5:1...so I saved $50. I had already used CPES on the edges of the wing and bunk boards, 1 gallon of the 5:1 did both sides of all the ply for wings and lower board for the bunk. I also used the 5:1 to glue the 2 pieces of 3/4 ply for the wings together.
Installing the bolts for the jack mounts I will go crazy with sealant. I did use some exterior deck screws to secure the 3/4 wing wood together using sealant there too.
My only concern now is that I also sealed up the aluminium under the bunk area and the wings that if any water gets in I don't think it will be able to find a way out.
