I have used 1 3/4 qts. I have given 2 coats to the forward and middle cabins including the overhead and inside the galley. I have a little bit left to go -- the back side of the helm, the area by the helmsperson's knees, and the dinette cabinetry. I suspect that by the time I get 2 coats on that area as well, I will be slightly over 2 qts. I use an approximately 5 inch foam roller and a small paint roller tray. I also use a brush around the edges. The roller puts paint of the larger areas and goes very fast. I use the brush around the edges and in places where I cannot fit the roller. I had removed all the wiring in the boat and am completely rewiring it so painting was easier than it would be with the wiring in place.
Again, Brightside is a pretty smelly paint and I use a dual cartridge respirator to avoid breathing the fumes.

As I have sold my 1983 Classic to my son and he is coming to pick it up next week it was time to clean it up inside.
I removed every single thing that was not screwed down and scrubbed it all using Simple Green and water. Crawling up into the bow, getting into all of those little compartments etc. was a big PITA. It came out really nice and I do not think it could be improved with a coat of paint.
I did paint the outside back of the cabin a long time ago. It needs a repaint but has stayed on well IMHO. I used Pettit EasyPoxy (white) and it really improved the look of the boat. Covered up that fake wood formica look.
I have used that boat for 28 yrs. and sitting in it today I got a little sentimental about seeing it go. We have had lots of good times, good fishing and trips in it. I hope it works out for my son and his family as well as it did for us.
Hopefully I can get used to my new CD before my boating time expires. So far so good, except the fuel consumption.
At least the Classic will still be in the family so when my son moves up I could buy it back from him. _________________ On the HIGH TIDE-II, wife Carolyn and I.....Another summer fishing on the HIGH TIDE II in the Cook Inlet at Cape Ninilchik, Alaska.

I hope C-Dory puts that on the front page of their brochures. Congratulations and best wishes to you and your son. _________________ MartyP
