Ahoy from Good Old Boat magazine*. We are approaching the point where we will paint the interior of our project boat, the Mega 30. I'd like to hear from anyone in the Good Old Boat community that has used water based paint on the interior of their boat.

Some questions are,

How long did the paint last, or how long has it lasted so far? If it failed what was the failure like? What brand did you use? What kind of surface preparation, and primer did you use? How was the paint applied?

If I get enough encouragement we might try painting the inside of our boat with water based paint. It certainly would be easier. If we get enough responses to be interesting I'll report a summary of them in the magazine or newsletter.
