For the topside of a small fishing boat any of the 2 part paints are more than good enough. It depends on how much you want to spend and how good of a job you can do. If you do a poor job with a good paint, it will still be a poor job.

I used something similar to this: http://www.valspar.com/val/resident/valspar_imp.jsp There is a hardner for it, but I used it with out, you just have a longer cure time.

I figured if this stuff is good enough for the abuse Dad's tractor gets, it'll stay on the deck of my boat.

I think the Color I used is called Monarch Blue in my Avatar..
