I am refinishing a 1972 15.5' plywood center console boat. I have the bottom of the hull sanded and ready for paint. I strongly suspect that the previous owner used either an industrial oil-based enamel, or polyurethane "floor" paint. It was just a fishing boat to him, so I doubt that he bought anything other than this. The boat is trailered, so antifouling is not an issue and I don't need an antifouling "bottom" paint.Is it OK to use several coats of a good quality polyurethane enamel on this boat? It seemed to hold up OK for the previous owner.Any advice much appreciated!
Polyurethane floor paint for boat?

I have used Rustoleum Oil-based paint with good, lasting results on a fiberglass canoe and on a16 ft aluminum fishing boat (hull and plywood decks).
