That's what most folks do unless it stays in the water more than a few days at a time.<br /><br />Just do your surface prep. real well, use good quality primers & paints. Preferably materials that are catalyzed.

I have an old honda kicker that I sprayed with silver rustoleum several years ago.. It has held up amazingly well and the engine is out in the weather all the time.......... Can,t say much for the rubber gasket tho...

So little that looks good but the OLB is showing O.L.B. Old ladies butt. Thats Orange peel to the other folks. You should wet sand it and then paint another Light coat on it.<br />Personally I think it looks awsome. And you have 2.

Solittle,<br /><br />Did you take pictures along the way? A link to them would be nice. I like the outdrive design, especially from the interior space savings.
