[QUOTE="richg99, post: 427643, member: 4376"] [b]"What would I do about the seams in my boat with the textured paint? My boat is pretty wide, so I will have to have a seam every 4'."[/b] I guess I am not quite sure what this statement means???? Does your present flooring/deck have a "break" or "separation" every 4 feet? If so, I guess I would tape off the rear section; paint the front section, and when it was dried properly, I'd then do the next section and keep on going until I was done. Yes, there would be seams but that wouldn't be any different than what you have now. If you were worried that the decking would leak at the seams, you could caulk those lines. Candidly, any water dripping between the seams should be fed back out towards the stern, assuming you have the normal channels that are built into most boats. Any tiny accumulation will dump out by your bilge pump or when you pull the plug after each trip. richg99 [/QUOTE]
