[QUOTE="SD Fishing, post: 402126, member: 20226"] Thanks Johnny. Basically the reason for the question about priming over both top and bottom is related to cost issue. If I can cover what I need (tops & sides) with a quart, no need to buy a gallon if I'm only using around half of it doing all of it. I do have vents installed in both the front deck area (two 3" dia vent holes) and 6 throughout the bottom floor walls (3 each side, 2" dia) so it will be well ventilated. The rear deck is open in the back for the motor, battery, gas tank, etc. so I did not add any to the back. I think I have it under control. The with the minimum being a good coat of Thompson's (underside) and the max being Thompson's, primer, & top coat (top side) it should stay in good shape. At least as long as I plan on owning the boat. Thanks again for the input. [/QUOTE]
