paint decision
 

Hi everyone,recently bought a 27ft magnum marine "LANCER" as a huge project,Will be doing major modifications on the hull,interior,deck,dash,custom paint and much more, so my question is what would be the best paint to be used on the boat.My issue is is painting the bottom of 70+mph boat what's going to work and hold to the bottom?Thank's everyone in advance!

Is it a Klem Gem Lancer or a Magnum ?????

I have found PPG concept single stage paint works well, that what I painted my Magnum Sports deck & bottom with. But as most paints if left in the water for some time it will blister.

Not sure it has magnum marine logos on both sides and title says1980 lancer 27!!!How the PPG is aplied roller or spray gun.

I sprayed it. Glass Dave here on OSO is the expert, here are some links about PPG paint. Before you paint check all the wood [stringers,, transom] for moisture, most of Klems boats used poor wood & have rot.

That will be the first things to do i will remove all the wood used +floor boat has been sitting since 96 when i picked it up it had about 30+gallons of water inside basicly i bought the hull only everything else will be replaced/repaired and i'm also chanching the desighn on top and will open the deck area toward the front about 2 feet will be a major very long project but i hope at the end it will be one of a kind!

ebay boat?

Yeah you saw it?

here ya go .... how dangerous was the neighborhood where it was??

That hull would be a Jim Klem Lancer, no chrome side vents, deck hardware & the nav light on the bow. If you restore it right you will have a fun boat.
