Can U Paint the topsides? With what?
Little bit of wear on the deck in the cockpit area, also on the sliding hatch (small chunks of just the white). So what could I paint it with?

I repainted the topsides of my old boat with a 1 part polyurethane. They sell it at West Marine. It goes on thin and will take at least 2 coats. Do a little research before attempting to apply it as it takes some special techniques.

makes the boat look European and unrecognizable as a Mac, for a change.
