[QUOTE="Tin Man, post: 514165, member: 7021"] Appearance is what it comes down. I painted a Tracker V16 several years ago. It was originally a painted boat. It had quite a bit of dock rash and dents/gouges on bottom from beaching. I removed decals, sanded, primered, and painted. I also repaired some dents and gouges on hull bottom and painted the bottom as well. All same color. Used high quality Petit marine paint. I was going to spray, but in the end I decided to use the roll and tip method. Turned out pretty nice. Preparation is a LOT of work. If hull was not originally painted, I would not have done it. Another potential option.....My father has a Crestliner Sportsman 14. He decided to add some large pieces of vinyl to cover approx. 1/2 of the hull sides. Came out very nice. Much easier than painting. It took 2-3 people to install properly. [/QUOTE]
