1987 13' Sport, several questions. What is the best paint and primer to use on the inside, and what is the best prep prior to paint.
Thanks in advance for the help,

Tons of information. Sand, sand and then sand - using a grinder/dremel for big cracks, West system for big problems, the fairing compound for these areas and all blemishes then sand, sand, and sand - getting all old paint, glossy surfaces, dust, dirt, wax, etc off all surfaces.
If you do all of that any good boat paint will work. I used 2 part Epifanes polyurethane in Boston Whaler blue for mine from Jamestown Distributors.
I used Total Boat primer.
Bottom - Total Boat epoxy barrier coat with Velux VC-17 bottom paint (there are many good choices).
I regret using a smooth roller for primer as it left very minor texture that I did not sand enough before spraying the final 2 finish coats.
Interlux primer and Topside paint or the Jamestown Total Boat paint series are your best choices. Both offer one part and two part paints and each tell you how to prep.
A simple search on the NET will tell you for either.
