Boat Buzz

Looking at my bottom I see areas of bare wood. This winter I would like to repaint this area and wondering what paint would give the best protection for the wood and against possible wood rot. Do most of paint the interior with a red color or would something else be appropriate.

Thanks in advance for the advice!

There is international danboline or epifanes also have a bilge paint. Think they come in grey or red color.

Thanks will look into them

I use this. As with any paint the surface you are painting must be clean and dry.

I would use the Sandusky paint also. www.sanpaco.com

All my experience is with INTERLUX BILGE PAINT. They say that red is better but I am unsure why. I think the color red makes it difficult for insects to live in also. Something about the red color filtering UV light which molds and such need to grow. A good washing and let it dry well before painting is always a good idea. The paint will protect the wood and allow the wood to breathe as well. Plus it looks much better down there too.
