[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 396721, member: 13599"] Can't really tell the overall damage . . . Looks like the P/O may have caulked the seams before. If so, dig all that out and put in some new 3M5200 caulk/sealant. but, just for puttering around the ponds, use it as it is. To be on the safe side, I would get a 12v bilge pump and hook it up to your trolling battery. as for the painting = If you want the basic colors, Rust-Oleum is a good choice. I have had a very hard time finding custom colors in oil. Only latex base. As for the interior Hammer Look, that is your call. That paint runs easily, so apply thin, even coats. On the outside of the boat, wash with a degreaser, sand or scotchbrite the surface to scuff it up good and paint it. I would not even prime it. The exterior latex house paints are paint & primer together now. Just paint it and go boating. [/QUOTE]
