Peter,
I am way ahead of you. My daughter is well versed in the difference
between a phillips head and flat head screw driver, and knows the many
uses of duct tape. She has been equally as excited as I about the
invention of transparent duct tape. Pointy Skiff survived a week of
bashing the dock with 40 MPH winds with occasional gusts to 60 MPH
last weekend. Paint is fine.

Good on ya David! And good to get your daughter involved with the

she can give you a hand on your next building project :-)

Gary,
I just repainted my Pointy Skiff with High Gloss Exterior Latex Alkyd
Enamel from Home Despot.
It is not as high gloss as a traditional oil paint such as Kirby's or
as fancy as Interlux. But...the cost was worth it.
I will give the group a mid season report in August. I suspect that
it will not be as durable in the long run, but it is so easy to apply
and clean up it was worth it. My 10 year old daughter chose the color
from the paint cards (dangerous thing to teach young girls, that any
color can be made!) and I had her paint the hull. I hope to take some

and Duff commented on how attractive the skiff was and wondered where
we got it! Not a bad compliment for a boat that is 15 years old and

Nope, PreKote isn't the hi-build primer, it's the normal primer for
Brightsides and needs to be sanded to translucence before painting over.

-Brightsides paint is fine. Some caveats. If you use Brightside primer
read the directions on the can. It says to sand to "translucence". In
effect you want to sand almost all of the primer off. I had problems
with blistering on the deck of my Bobcat. In conversation with the
folks at International Paint I was told that Br. primer has
microballoons which can absorb moisture through the finish. Also the
finish takes weeks to fully cure and until then it is vulnerable.
The real advantage of Brightsides over latex is the high gloss. The
high gloss can be a disadvantage in that it is easily marred and
really can't be "patched". A whole panel has to be refinished. High
gloss also shows every wart in your prep; sanding marks, nicks,
insufficient sanding etc.
It doesn't necessarily follow that "Cheap paint is for cheap boats". A
latex finish can be well done. The only real disadvantage to latex is
the lack of the very high gloss that is available with marine paints.
I rather like the low gloss (but not flat) finish.
I've use the two part Interlux, Brightsides, Easypoxy, Latex from
Sears and Latex from Behr. I am using latex for my current project and
it is a great finish.

I've used both the primer and the Brightside finish products. Actually I think the high build primer is one of the best buys out there. It has covered many of my wood butcher mistakes that I'd have otherwise spent a lot of time and sandpaper trying to prep. It dries fast and is really easy to work. The Brightside's finish coats especially in dark colors seems a bit thin in application, but once on with a couple coats seems to do a great job. Mind you, I was covering a white hull with a dark blue paint so several coats was probably not out of the question.
I'm not sure if Boudicea was built with the absolute best materials, it's some real nice A/B ply and a lot of Raka and cloth, and a boatload of Ebay hardware pieces & parts, but any job requiring a significant amount of labor and that you hope to get many years of service from I think is worth protecting well.

You are right of course, cheap paint is for cheap boats. Its a waste to
try and save money on the finish of a boat you have many hours in
constructing and I would presume first class materials.

I bought a gallon of ACE's best alkyd exterior primer for my current project.
I used it to prime my building table. It did not prove to be the best choice,
as it cures really hard. Not gummy, but just a very hard surface that
challenges sandpaper. I still plan to use it on the boat, but I've switched to the
cheapest ACE flat interior latex for resurfacing my building table between
layouts.
Supposing, quite hypothetically, that my current project turns out so well
that I might want a "yacht-like" finish, does anyone have any experience in
using oil-based paint over a latex-based primer?

boat paints. It seems very durable underfoot.
I bought a gallon of ACE's best alkyd exterior primer for my current project.
I used it to prime my building table. It did not prove to be the best choice,
as it cures really hard. Not gummy, but just a very hard surface that
challenges sandpaper. I still plan to use it on the boat, but I've switched to the
cheapest ACE flat interior latex for resurfacing my building table between
layouts.
Supposing, quite hypothetically, that my current project turns out so well
that I might want a "yacht-like" finish, does anyone have any experience in
using oil-based paint over a latex-based primer?

I have had pretty good successs with exterior latex, both rolled and
sprayed. This is in more Northern climes. I will email you a photo of my
Gull with exterior latex if you want. Proper priming helps a lot and you
have to wait for it to dry properly.

http://www2.sherwin-williams.com/Architects/specguide/products.asp
Brightsides is good paint. It's a polyurethane reinforced alkyd enamel. A
few years ago I was browsing through a local home improvement store when I
noticed a polyurethane reinforced alkyd enamel porch paint (I don't recall
the brand) for $11 a quart. I bought some and painted the plywood
floorboards of my skiff. It went on nice, looks good, and has stood up well
to me stomping around on it, and scrubbing the floorboards once or twice a
year. I think a good porch paint is the way to go for those of us who want a
niver finish than latex house paint, but don't want to splurge on fancy
yacht paint. The home improvement store also carried Ace polyurethane
reinforced alkyd enamel porch paint, which might be just as good, or close
enough, to the brand name stuff and was a bit cheaper. BTW, a gallon of the
brand name porch paint cost about the same as a quart of Brightsides!

I'm sory folks, I know it's expensive, but I used Interlux Brightside
polyurethane on the Chebacco, ( hatteras off white) top and (sapphire
blue)bottom. I figured that after seven years of labor it was worth a $25
per quart paint. The upside is that it wears like iron and rolls or
brushes on so smooth that it almost looks sprayed.
The downside is that it costs $25 a quart.......

> Has anyone had any experience with using latex on a boat?I have used latex, and it works 'pretty good' and is appropriate
depending upon your quality standards. Still, on my boats (that I
care more about), I used cheap oil based house paint over tinted epoxy.
It hasn't peeled, but scratches through the paint are hard to see
because of the tinting of the epoxy below.
You will get lots of varied advice from boat builders around
here, but I bet the best advice you might get would be from
some professional painters.
Such as: a good paint job requires good prep, etc..
I've used exterior latex on a small boat before - it works, but it is
not my favorite. I prefer oil based porch and deck enamel for a low
cost paint. It seems more durable than the latex at not much more
expense.

Howdy all, I am building a Micro Trawler, and am wondering about
painting it. I faxed Phil Bolger, he suggested I ask here. I am
wondering about using exterior latex paint on the hull and wheel
house. Has anyone had any experience with using latex on a boat? If
so, any problems or any thing I need to watch out for.
Thanks, Stephen
