Hull Paint for Fresh Water
 
I will soon be painting a small 14' skiff that will never see salt water
and will be summer only wet. I don't want to use antifouling paint so what
would be a good choice?

The hull is marine plywood with a coating of epoxy.

any exterior grade of paint. semi-gloss or gloss will stay cleaner than a
flat finish. gloss shows imperfections more than semi-gloss. latex acrylic
is a good one to use.
