Painted the outside. Like a trout!

As long as it works! If I'm fishing in the boat I'm usually anchored. Pulling it up and dropping it down again in the next area by hand is a pain. A lot of times over 20' of water. A crank up system may work.m for me.

First coat applied. Used Parker "Desert Sand" duck boat paint. Used foam roller and brush, which worked well. Lots of laying on your back to paint under seats and accidentally knocking the occasional dot of styrofoam off the underside of the seats into the paint. Not too bad with a shorty...

If I use a decent primer right after gluvit is fully cured, is the paint gonna peel off the gluvit painted areas? The sanding task seems undoable. How can you sand around hundreds of gluvit-coated flat-top rivets before priming and painting? You'd never get it all scuffed. I mean, I'm...

Doing a little facelift on a 1986 Lowe 14 footer. Will be repainting inside and sides, and adding a front and back deck with low pedistal seats.
