Hello,
I asked around and heard:

Pettit
http://www.amazon.com/Pettit-Paint-E...ds=bilge+paint

Bilge coat
http://www.amazon.com/Interlux-Gray-...ds=bilge+paint

And 2 part Epoxy paint.

I heard epoxy paint was the most durable from the boat store.

Thoughts?

Rustoleum with added enamel gardener catalyst works fantastic and wears awesome.

I put new stringers in the boat. I with epoxy. I like the idea of sealing it with more epoxy paint. I just do not want to experiment with Rustoleum if it is not a sure bet.

^^^ He's right , best bang for your buck is Rustoleum with a universal hardener. Durable , high gloss , and reasonable. I use it on all my commercial and pleasure boats . Good Luck !!!

Same here, with the hardner, it's great! Did mine two seasons ago and it looks like it was just done. Easy to clean, hard finish and really glossy. Goes on easy with mini rollers for the tight spots too...

I have used the Interlux white in the past. Bought it on Amazon and was really happy with it.
