The first coat of paint! I used Behr exterior latex which may be a mistake. This boat is just going to be trailer sailed, so we’ll see how it stands up. I may be scraping all the paint off and redoing it later.

I thought a plain white boat might be a little drab, so I decided to paint on a green sheer stripe. I’ve read sheer stripes should have a bit of a belly in the middle, otherwise they can look too skinny. I rigged up a batten so my stripe will be 4″ at the front and back, and 6″ in the middle.

Next I painted on some Equestrian Green and removed the tape. It came out really nice and I think it should help the looks.
