The boat was a Fountaine Pajot 44 “Samaquan”. It was being shown by a broker and they were giving demo rides that I didn't take advantage of. IIRC the boat was for sale and was only a few (maybe...

Cherp,

Yes, CR pool paint is another option. It would be more "rubbery" than elastomeric paint, but perhaps a little more difficult to run out and pick up a can. I think a little more specific...
