The iboats forum moderators are excited to announce that at this time it appears the iboats forums posting pictures function is working once again. Though we cannot promise for how long, we're hoping for indefinitely.
Gonna be painting the hull of my boat. What kind of primer/paint do I need??? Is there anything at Home Depot I can use in an effort to save some money???

The boat is fiberglass (1975 Checkmate MX-15). The paint that's on it now is brushed on "whatever brand paint" done by the previous owner. It's a pretty bad job OR it could be that it was done so long ago. Again...if there is anything that Home Depot sells that would work please share.
I painted topsides on my trihull runabout last year with rustoleum enamel available at blowes or home de pot. There are much better options out there, but it worked and looks decent. I applied with roll and tip method...sanding for many hours before paint. Its only been a year but holding up well to knicks and scratches. Again....I only did topsides, unsure if it would hold up on the hull.
