Well, we got the sanding done and painted the inside of the Brockway
yesterday. Battleship grey was in the Goof isle at Home Depot,
perfect, flat, nice. It was pretty hot so I had to move quickly, but I
was using a power roller with a pad attachment too. Great for doing
the inside, does a much better job than the sprayers I have used in
the past. Rollers with a "tip" method brush is still the best way to
go for wood boats.

Time today to flip her over and do the bottom, that will be much
easier.

You used flat house paint on a boat? *:)

Since you really don't know what you are talking about here I will
note that Enamel is Enamel, is Enamel. Let me know when a chemist
comese up with a better Enamel, K? A real boat builder explained that
to me years ago. You don't spend 400 bucks to paint a plywood boat, it
would be silly...

When I was painting wood boats, and I did a whole lot of that, since it
was the job for the relatively unskilled at the boat yard (this was
before the days of high tech paint),

You do realize that "marine" paint is inspected and tested for it's
intended use, but it's still just paint, right? I have no problem
using Benjamin Moore or Pittsburgh on the interior of a boat, it is
well made, and breathes nicely. Bet Google didn't tell you that..

we used nice brushes to put on
paint, not rollers, so we could work in the paint. We even brushed on
bottom paint on the smaller boats.

Since you really never painted or built a wooden boat, I suggest you
look up "tip" method of "brushing" paint, which I used here... Yes, a
Purdy 3" angle, it's all I ever use or need to follow the rollers..

But, if you're using flat house paint, it'll flake off soon enough...so
I guess it doesn't make a difference.

Uh, on the inside of the boat, it is fine, I have never had any
problems and unlike you, I have built nearly 60 boats and painted at
least half of them...

At least you got the aisle right, eh?

BTW, the word "isle" usually is used in reference to an geographical
island...a land mass surrounded by water.

BFD, you have google and a spellchecker, still doesn't make you an
expert on anything but bull****. Since it is clear you don't even
really know the simple basics of work skiffs, your followups will be
ignored, unless you can squeak out a serious question that is not
loaded or a troll... unlikely..
