Hmm, never been one to use deodorant much, if at all. Don't need it. Not saying I'm sweet or anything, just don't sweat unless I'm REALLY working hard for a LONG time. Even then, I don't stink. I know it sounds weird but my wife will attest to it. I think it may have something to do with eating fairly healthy and keeping hydrated? I actually got excited when one time I did develop an odor...o.k., I think I may be telling you all a little too much!
I have spent my fair share of time in an aluminum boat/canoe over the years though...? I don't recall rubbing my armpits on it either!

Edit:
...just thinking...
Have you ever chewed on aluminum foil????
I knew I smelled something awfully funny around here! 
You know, the rubbing of one's underarms against the aluminum of a boat may not be as farfetched as first thought! See, when people catch fish, they often lean over the edge. But I never catch anything....(actually, I like fishing until I catch something.
I've never chewed on aluminum foil but it was all the rage in seventh grade.

OMG You are so lucky! We have to wear that brain cell killing anti-perspirant here all the time (houston) or this town would really reeek! LMAO!

Is this a REAL experience?? LMAO! I need the exterminator NOW!

Strangely, yes. I've had a vegan roommate for about a year now and she uses products by a company called Jason. Looked up the deodorant online here and none of those have aluminum hydroxide. More importantly, she smells better than I do after we go running, but I'm not one to hypothesize whether that's based on diet or deodorant.
I believe the stronger anti-perspirants (as opposed to deodorants, there is a slight difference) use more aluminum hydroxide. The reason I say this is I had a friend with hyperhydrosis (lots of sweating for no reason) and the one she got from the doctor had a high concentration of it. It doesn't cover up any smells, it just shuts the pores down I guess.
Chew aluminum foil? Who would do that and why would you do that? That's just crazy stuff you hear some back woods yahoos doing up in N.H. or something...
...but you may be onto something. We DID catch fish! And our...wait a minute...it was my Dad always catching the fish and I would have to net them. Since I was young, my arms were always in contact with the gunnel (side of the boat)! When he wasn't catching anything, I was usually staring off into the distance with my mouth agape...on the gunnel, sorta Homer-esche like...drooling. Is there a lawyer I can talk to about sueing my pops? 
btw, my deoderant (can't use anti-perspirant, makes me itch, good thing I don't need it) does NOT contain aluminum.
Funny, I've been having a craving for boat lately! (sorry...it's late!)

Hey now, I never said I did it! The ones that did it most were the ones that had fillings - it supposedly really hurts!
Ah, the memories of stupid antics are coming back. In elementary school, the boys would take the wrappers from cinnamon gum, lick them, stick them to their foreheads for about five minutes, and peal it off to reveal a big red welt. Boys.
So thats what happened to ya beviking...
