If I can ask, what kind of paint did you use on the boat?  Was it just regular home depot paint or bottom paint for a boat?

Gimper

Krylon fusion, I used it last year on my 12ft jon boat and it worked great.  Beads the water off, doesn't chip, and didn't fade.

Real Nice!  I picked up a 12 foot delhi Streamside about 15 years ago from a guy I worked with for $100 with a old six horse chrysler o.b.  He said it didn't run.....  With a can of carb cleaner, starter fluid, and a new plug I had it running a half hour after getting it home.  Wish I knew you had to change the gear oil in the lower unit. (but I was about 20 and didn't know crap about o.b.'s)5hrug  Got a couple of good seasons out of the motor with pop (kezsr) and my brother.....  Round Valley, Spruce Run and Delaware River (Smithfield Beach Launch)  Even the Raritan River at home in Manville.  That is a nice looking boat, hope you enjoy it! t^
