I'm building a 9 foot wooden flat bottom boat for myself and the kids.
It'
made out of 3/8" plywood from Home Depot and we're probably going to use

about every other weekend in the water. Where I'm at it's mostly salt
water
area (Gulf).

My question is:

Will normal Latex Exterior house paint will work?

best to seal with 2 coats of solvent thinned epoxy or moisture cured
urethane primer, then ext. latex....

paul - progressive epoxy polymers inc

I was also fiberglassing the seams today on the boat.
Is it possible to use the Resin without the fiberglass for/as a paint?

Sure. In fact many people that build stitch and glue do exactly that.
Tape the seams and use the rest of the pot to paint the plywood.
However... epoxy has very little UV resistance so cover it with
something else.
