I use Simply Awesome from dollar general. Wet hull, spray down and let sit. Mix some in bucket of water and brush that on good and rinse off. Good as any I have used and cheap.
I second the awesome cleaner at dollar general. But more importantly once the boat is clean make sure you put a good wax down, I like the Lucas slick mist, then from there all you have to do is a quick wipe down with more wax after your trips.

Is it bare aluminum or painted that you want clean?

If it were bare aluminum there is some stuff called zing that is effective.
I just used a power washer other day and got most of the water line off boat my painted g3 1648 jon boat, mixed dawn dish soap in bucket of warm water and brushed and wet ragged the rest off and rinsed with water. Worked ok.
I used aluminium brightener from napa it works super fast don't let it dry

Use a nanoskin wash mit with soapy water like you would on a car. Paint doesn’t like sticking to aluminum boats to begin with, so you want to be careful what you use. Google nanoskin wash mit, it’s like clay barring the paint but quicker, and if it gets dirty just wash it off and keep using it. Not a bad idea to use a spray wax to protect it for next time. Optimum makes a good one, it won’t discolor plastic, spray on wipe off. Ive used this method on a camouflage boat with excellent results, when pressure washer, degreaser, and brush wouldn’t work. Also use car wash soap instead of dish washing soap.
