I have an 85 pro line cc. I'm wanting to redo the inside but want to do it myself. It's an old boat and I'm not looking for perfection just effectiveness. I'm looking for something I can roll on our brush that's not going to cost me a fortune but will look ok. Any ideas would be appreciated. Looking for white paint. It's a 20 foot Thanks

Gee tractor paint on a boat seems so wrong, somehow. Can't you afford an inexpensive marine enamel or polyurethane? Even Rustolium makes one of those. It is avail at Home Despot.

Did you read the link? The Tractor Paint IS the exact same paint as Rustoleum. There are testimonials on their site where it's been used to Paint Cars, Boats, etc. It's been used by me and multiple others her on the forum with Excellent, long lasting results using the details posted in the link. It is a really good, inexpensive paint system, that the regular DIY'r can use and get very nice results... I painted the top of my boat with it for $30 bucks worth of paint. I did use EasyPoxy for the bottom but...If I had it to do over...I'd use the Tractor Paint on the bottom too. It's very hard and durable when you add the hardener.
