About five or six years ago I resurected a 15" vee hull runabout, (1969 Glaspar) I had to build a new deck inside it as the original plywood was rotted out and gone, and rebuild the innner transom.

It had been painted poorly with a roller over the original gel coat- here is my f-up, I used automotive laquer primer over the gelcoat after sanding the roller applied paint off, then used a product called "Easypoxy" by I believe Interlux over it. The Laquer primer and epoxy paint do not get along, the paint peels off in pieces. The paint did not hold a gloss for but a year even though the boat is covered with a tarp when not in use.

I am in the process of re doing everything, stripping the hull back to the gelcoat, using epoxy primer, and $$ polyurethane paint (Imron by DuPont) over it.

This will last a long, long time. I went cheap last time, and didn"t follow the directions using the primer etc advised by the paint manufacturer. Live and learn :)
