I agree but this is a perfect uportunity to test 100% acrilic once and for all...a few guys sware this paint is as good or even better then marine paint...they claim its binding tecnology is 30years ahead of marine paint...I want to see if its true...wast case it wont caost me much??

I'd go with Deck and Porch paint over latex. I use Benjamin Moore's stuff inside lockers and such and it holds up well. The water based is flat, alkyd is glossier and my preference.

Nice looking boat , If you need a mooring for a night when passing by Halifax when your headed south just let me know....

Ahoy "otherthan". ((( anyone reading this?? )))

I just ran across this topic you started a few years ago. Went to your profile and saw you haven't been active in quite awhile. Hope you, or someone, is reading this.

I was wondering how your purchase went and how you're liking your Island Trader 41. Would also love to see photos. I'm considering buying one.
