I have had mostly timber boats and have painted a lot of them over the years. But going to composite would not be on my list of priorities when getting another one.

A good spray of 2 pack epoxy paint lasted on the hulls of my current Mozzie from (I think) when it was born, At least I have had it for 8 years and had never painted it. See my painting post elsewhere, only the varnished decks where truly stuffed.

When I was 15 I painted my Arrow with marine enamel single part and it lasted for about 5 years in the sun before it cracked.

The first Mozzie I had was an early Blockys Boat (197)built in fibreglass and it weighed in at around 80kg, slow as hell and not that strong.
