A Few More Pics.

Tuff coat works really well. Just read the instructions first because I didnt at first. The tuff coat is thisk and you must add some water to it to thin it out. I used a gallon on the deck and ran out. Couldnt figure it out untill I read the instructions ;D
Covers up any inperfections. Down fall is that I think its to poures ??(spelling) holds alot of dirt, at least in white it does. Gonna paint over it with marine deck paint.
Good price as well. You could have it sprayed on as well instead of rolling it. Paid maybe $64.00 a gallon, thats with shipping. But Boaters World sells it as well. I;m not near a Boaters world though.
 
Just my two cents guys... I painted (brushed) the High Dive bottom with two coats of Easy Poxy one part urethane at least 5 years ago and have had no problems, no brush marks... (and no runs hammer) ;) I just wiped the bottom (which had the blue anti fouling paint sanded off) down with Acetone. Still looks great. Also I used West Marine's non skid paint on my deck a year ago last May or June, same thing, just wiped the worn deck gelcoat down with acetone like the guy at West Marine said and rolled two coats on and it too is sticking and holding up very well.
 
I'll try to steal the wife's camera and take a few. I'm looking to cover some cosmetic areas on the deck, but I want to stay with the white (off white) so it doesn't show as a new coat.

I'm just trying to get some good weather so I can go off shore and catch some tilefish, snapper, black seabass. I have a nice hole I found for 10 years ago. I have a bet that NO one has ever collected. I bet $100 that when your bottom rig hits the bottom you can't count to 10 without getting a bite. AS I said no one has ever collected.

Sounds like a good site to get a ton of info on how to fix about everything.

I painted the bottom of my boat with Pettit Sandless Primer and Pettit Vivid blue bottom paint. Polyeurethane primers cure hard and smooth and have to be topcoated before fully cured. I applied the first coat of primer and only had to wait about 30 minutes before it was ready for the 2nd coat. Then, I put on the first coat of anti-fouling 30 minutes after finishing the 2nd coat of primer. The 2nd coat of anti-fouling went on the next day after the first coat had fully cured.

I sanded everything down by hand using a DA sander and 36 grit paper.

You should throw a little Sikkens Cetol Marine Light on that wood trim, it will look great. Last I saw, it was on sale at West Marine for $20 a quart.
