RE: painting Sea Queen.
Hi Bob,
Basically it all comes down to how tough the surface will be after painting; if you can make a dent with your fingernail, I'd add a layer of glass and epoxy, if it's hard enough with just a coat of epoxy, don't add glass.
Just keep in mind, it's a big heavy hull and the edges are fragile and dent easily, glass and epoxy add a lot of structural integraty.
The choice is yours.
Regards, Jan.
