    Boat interior question - to paint wood or not to paint?

    Boat interior question - to paint wood or not to paint?

    What is the general consensus on this topic? I am rebuilding some parts on my boat seats, mainly the seat base frames and a couple of the seat bottoms need new plywood. I also plan to make a small 36" jump seat in the back. When I build the new wood I am thinking they would be best if...
