Paint above deck and below?
I'm looking for suggestions for paint for my v20. I need to paint both above the deck and below and I'm unsure if it will be touch ups, or a full paint job. What do you guys suggest? Boat will be on a trailer most of the time so I don't need in water bottom paint. It has that now and I'd like to strip it off. Thanks for the info.

I used Interlux Perfection and am somewhat satisfied with it. It's a two-part epoxy, but it does scratch or ch. I can touch it up periodically. I've heard good things about Emron, and that's probably what I'd use if I did it again.

Paint
I used Petit EZ Poxy 2 with good results.
I think all the two part paints are fine and it's in the prep you will notice the difference. This is my first year and I will see how it holds up but I am happy with how it cleans up after a fishing trip. Seems to be a lot easier than gelcoat. Also, I used Kiwigrip for my floor. product is easy to use and cleans up with water. I need another coat as one quart is not enough for the floor on a V.

this would be a good choice instead of antifouling paint,for below the waterline

Got Awlgrip on mine. Cleans up really easy compared to gel coat.

Topside, on the deck, I wouldn't use anything but U-Pol Raptor truck bed liner. Wears like iron, soft on the feet and non-skid.
If you're going to remove the bottom paint I'd just give her several real good coats of polish and leave it like that. The only exception would be if there were blisters. Then you'd need to repair and paint, and pretty much any 2 part epoxy would be the way I'd go.

Will a power washer remove marine growth? Anyone have a good plan for safely lifting a boat a few inches off the trailer bunkers to allow cleaning and/or painting of the bottom? Larry

A power washer will remove the growth no problem on a properly treated bottom,a decent power washer will remove the paint too,and the gel coat if there is any damage to it.
If you plan on cleaning and painting the bottom yourself then investing in a pair of stands is the way to go. There are ways off moving the boat on the trailer to work around the rollers but the job is awful enough with the boat on stands. Unless you are dedicated to the job or money is an object you may find redoing a bottom is something you tackle just one time then decide its money well spent to have someone else do it
