well i finnaly have the boat in the barn, the past owner had the boat painted however they did a bad job as part was bubbling off, so removed all the paint, and sanded the crap out of it, now here is where you guys come in, do i use interlux or pettit, also open to product suggestions on paint. then how many coats of primer then paint , i'll be spraying the job so how about thinning the material so it will spray properly.

sand it and then sand again.....
i recall looking at your boat dave...there's some "rough" spots under the paint....read that as,there's been a few "repairs" done on that hull....
i don't use the interlux or the petit products...i like awlgrip or imron....use a super high quality 2 part primer,such as dupont euro primer...good stuff...using dura tec is an excellent idea as well.....
