I never would have imagined that this little boat could consume so much paint. I am wrapping up the interior cabin painting and have gone through two gallons of epoxy paint and 3 quarts of enamel. I am just about done and have one more round of enamel on the lower settees and another coat of epoxy paint in the hanging locker. I will need another gallon for the cockpit lockers and engine compartment. $230 in paint so far and another $100 to go not to mention the rollers, brushes and tape. Add another $50. Call it $400 for the interior paint jobs in material which is offset by the low cost of the labor. The other bonus is I now know every square inch of my vessel intimately.
