[Rhodes22-list] interior paint

[Graham Stewart]

 Mike:
Interlux Bilge Coat gives a shiny tough finish that is resistant to
chemicals and seems to me to be abrasive resistant. I used it on my wooden
boat and am quite satisfied. It is cheaper than epoxy. Epoxy has no UV
protection and should be normally be painted anyway .
The floor stringers in my boat were replaced many years ago by a previous
owner with pressure treated fence boards. They were glassed in place and
have stood up remarkably well. I would be inclined to use 5/4 pressure
treated deck boards instead as the 1/2" fence boards as they give a much
larger edge area to screw the floor boards into.
I would definitely glass the boards to the hull and cover the rest with
epoxy.
The original stringers on my boat were placed quite close to the centreboard
cap making it rather difficult to get in to  the bolts to remove the cap or
get in with a sponge to remove bilge water. I plan to redo mine but place
them about 1" out from the current position.

Subject: [Rhodes22-list] interior paint

Picked up a Rhodes 22. Needs TLC especially interior. Want to paint raw
fiberglass under seating behind cabinets and under cabin flooring around the
bilge trough. Whatever was there - appears to have been painted at some time
- has mostly peeled. Need to keep cost down but want washable clean looking
finish. Can anyone recommend type of paint or can epoxy be used 

Bilge trough wood frame ( my own term ) around the keelboard housing trunk
was under water for some time and need to be replaced. Any recommendations ?
Appears to have been glassed and tabbed to the cabin floor. Looks like
damaged wood still good enough to overlay with epoxy and cloth or just
thickened epoxy. Any suggestions ?
