House paint as topside paint?

[spareparts]

all I know is if it says "cleans up easy with water, no smell or fumes" it probably ain't worth the can its in

[nymack66]

if money is the key factor then consider this Lowes sells it ...

OVERVIEW:
Rust-Oleum Marine Coatings Topside Paint provides gloss retention and UV resistance in extreme weather conditions. Apply to fiberglass, wood or metal surfaces above the waterline. Flexible formula is easy to apply.

I painted a skiff once with house paint, everything below the waterline peeled off within a week. Topside only might be ok depending how it looks.

The cost of paint isnr a real big deal
I just thought the idea was a good one... IF it worked

If cost isn't a consideration, why take the chance?...NYMack's suggestion is as close to the edge as I would go...If Rustoleum sells it as Marine paint, I'd take a shot at it...
