Is there any cons on painting the outside transom?
My transom is staying dingy looking now,Ive been using the hull cleaner and it has etched the gel, so it gets stained ever time out in the boat,we have a real muddy lake here.My fiberglass/painter guy is recommending we paint it ,because with even wet sanding and buffing its still going to stain,I am thinking this will eliminate the staining and be just like the side that have paint and ya just wash it and the scum line washes off,I Figure paint it the same color as the white gel on the boat now.I have the boat striped down anyway.
I would appreciate any opinions and EXPERIENCE advice on paint vs gel?
Thanks
Rob
Heres some old picks, I also need a new ladder,any suggestions,Hustler wanted

Good Luck
