I want to repaint the hull of my boat. i know i should use good
quality antifouling paint. My question is if i need to use a primer
or not. the hull is mohogany but i dont know if i need primer. if
so, which kind do i need?

I believe you'll find that the best way to get good adhesion and long
life is proper preparation. Read the instructions: most are pretty
clear about what it takes to get a good application. Read the experts
books.

What you will find out is that you _might_ be able to get away with
just sanding the old paint down and then paint over it. But for a
good job you need to get the old surface down, fair, and then prime
it.

I'm in that process now myself. Have fun and good luck!
