Branson, For the topside I used Interlux brightsides. The underside is a basic black anti fouling bottom paint. The boat isnt going to sit in the water, but its easier to cover up dings and scratches using bottom paint. I rolled and tipped the topside using a 4" foam roller and the cheap gray foam brushes. I took my time, and used Interlux Prekote first and followed it up with two coats of brightsides sanding with 320 grit inbetween each coat. My son and I christened the boat at Everglades National park on Sunday, we got her covered in fishscales,weeds and dirt. It all baked in the S. Florida sun all day while we fished. When we got home I took the hose to her and with a little swabbing with a rag she came clean with ease. I had a offer to get her painted for $1000.00 with Imron but I aint that gentle with my boat to be watching $1000.00 paint job get scraped off at the dock![]()
