newbe sourcing marine grade polyurathane sealant adhesive.

Hi Guys, I'm building a drift boat using Roger Fletcher's book and plans. He calls out marine grade polyurethane sealant adhesive. I've googled it and went to a marine supply shop but there doesn't appear to be very many manufacturers and I can't find it in clear. What do you use and recommend and where do you buy it?
Thank you.

Hey Anthony,
I usually use 3M-5200 for sealing the bottom. It doesn't come in clear but you can get Tan or Mahogany. 3M-101 is good to bed in the chine cap as it is not as permanent as the 5200, unfortunatly it only comes in white. Others have used other products as well (Boat Life and Sikaflex come to mind).
As to where to order you can go with Jamestown Distributors or Hamilton Marine.
