I just got done priming mine with SW paint yesterday, it's a 2 part primer, it was hard as nails this morning, I'm putting 2 coats of the the primer, and than 2 coats of the SW poly....I'll let you know how the top coats work out, but to answer your question I would think you should be good to stand in it the next day....

I striped and sanded my bilge, tried to level and straighten it out, the older Cig bilges were pretty rough...so I primed first with SW B58w610 part A and B58v600 part B, mixed the two together 1to1, two coats, and then I used B65w311part S paint, B60v30 hardener mixed 4to1, 2 coats....I think I paid $250 for everything, gallon of primer, and gallon hardener for primer, gallon of paint and a quart of hardener for the paint, its enough to do 4 boats...
