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 it
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?


If you used a waterproof plywood, either marine grade or exterior
grade you can use about any paint that doesn't wash off. Two of my
Uncles built a car top fishing boat out of waterproof fir plywood.
Painted it with some sort of enamel paint. Used it every weekend
during fishing season. Between fishing trips it was stored in the
garage. The older Uncle died some 15 years later and the boat was
still serviceable.
