I have since completed the sanding and preparation for painting, I also cut down the transom for my 20***8221; Evinrude, I will glass over the top of the expose wood on the transom and paint along with the rest of the pending paint work.
Problem is this, I need to paint the boat white both sides and bottom ( I will stripe it on the sides) and be able to use the same primer and paint on the sides and the bottom, I have no need for anti fouling paint since this boat is used on the weekends here in Florida more damage from above that below :)
I can***8217;t seem to find a primer and paint listed for the complete job in other words it seems like ***8220;Topside***8221; and ***8220;below the water line***8221; is what is presented to me.
Question is can I find and affordable solution to paint both sides and the bottom using the same primer and paint?
Or do I have to go Topside paint and primer and anti fouling blue below the water line?
Also is there a primer for anti fouling.
Please see pictures and give me some ideas. I really thought the sanding part was hard until I went to West Marine shopping for paint.

I'd talk to a couple people here that have painted their boats recently before a gave any of my hard earned cash over to the shylocks at west marine. A fellow with the screen name khied comes to mind with a chris craft scorpion.

I have since decided to re build the transom after all, glad I did it was not rotted but soaked all the way down. I removed part of the skin for better and easier access to the wood removal since it’s not quite rotten it’s tough removing it new chain and all.
After I clean it up completely I will set the skin back in place and then pour it.
I will post pictures as I go along. I have the hull completely sanded and ready to prime I will be working on both at the same time hopefully I will have decent hull when completed.
Wish me luck..

Removing the wood is quite a challenge even with the partial skin removal, The wood at the sides are sold, pain in the neck, I am moving up to rental saw 20" bar in the morning its going to get done.
Tip: If you ever pounce upon a hull to good to be true PASS :)
As for the material for the transom I am in a dilemma not sure which way to go just yet.
SeaCast have a distributor here in Florida, hour drive from where I live , Price is still 215 for 5 gallon.
Nida Core is still 119.00 (I can pick up also 2hr drive)
Arjay is 159.00 will drop ship for 20.00
Which one should I use? HEEEEEEEEEEELP !

Welcome to the site,great project going on, but you shouldnt have cut the outter skin off.
Cant pour in a new transom with the skin off.

I am following this instruction, hopefully it works..

I will apply a few layers of woven mat with laminating resin to the inside walls of the transom with emphasis place to strengthen the skins and sealing all existing holes, I will not pour unless I felt its seal and strong. I will then re-attach the outer skin and glass it in before the big pour! I will post pictures as I work along.
Biggest let down so far was the darn chainsaw will not start I rented from Moon Belt Rentals.
My 16” chainsaw I brought from a pawn shop did the job.
