Description
TotalBoat TotalBilge premium bilge paint is ideal for those greasy, grimy, humid places on your boat exposed to the harshest conditions and the hardest wear, especially the bilge. This epoxy-based, high-performance alkyd resin marine paint is easy to apply by brushing, rolling, or spraying. It provides a long-lasting, rock-hard, glossy finish that's resistant to all the nasty things that can plague not only bilges, but engine rooms, bulkheads, chain lockers, lazarettes, and V-berth stowage areas. We're talking diesel fuel, engine oil, acids, antifreeze, grease, grime, growth, heat, humidity, and solvents. TotalBilge's hard-wearing, abrasion-resistant finish provides excellent protection against the damage and staining that can occur when chemicals, oil and sludge get absorbed into wood or fiberglass. A clean, freshly painted bilge is not just for looks - there's also a practical side. A clean bilge lets you see problems such as leaking fuel and oil, and fix them before they get worse. Besides making it easier to find problems, our white bilge paint also makes it easier to find stuff that accidentally gets dropped into the bilge, such as tools and car keys. Our TotalBilge gray bilge paint is the lightest shade of gray available. Both colors offer superior opacity for excellent coverage and ability to hide previous stains on fiberglass, primed aluminum, primed steel, and wooden boats. The durable, high-gloss finish is also easy to keep clean - just wipe away the grease and grime with a cleaning and degreasing product such as TotalBoat Eco Solvent. TotalBilge is available in Quart and Gallon sizes, in your choice of Gray or White. Compare to other bilge coat paint products such as Interlux Bilgekote, Pettit EZ Bilge Paint, and Epifanes Bilge Paint. All TotalBoat products are designed for boaters, by boaters, to provide great value and great results. 100% made in the USA.

Total Boat it is.
Thanks so much!

If you please clarify something for me, I would appreciate it. Sometimes I can be kind of dense.
I checked out the website for Jamestown, and only really found one epoxy bilge paint. It was the total boat one that I had the bad review of..
If you could clarify exactly what product you used from them, I would appreciate it. And if it was the total boat epoxy bilge, and you had no problems with it, I would love to use it.

We used Jamestown distributors epoxy bilge paint. We like it a lot. Used in the tique and skier and Chad Colby used it in his bfn. All of that out of a gallon. Good stuff, more like paint than epoxy from a thickness standpoint. And it is NOT a 2 part product. We sanded our bilge to get the worst imperfections out but didn’t worry about it being perfect.

Framing and floor, including stringers all buttoned up. Expandable foam on the inside, and I will be putting the tabbing on the outside.
Trying to duplicate, correct craft construction all except coossa board replaced plywood.

Never mind my last post I didn’t realize I had to go on page 2. I will try that next time I post pictures. Thanks for the help.

You can still paste them into the message box here on CCF, all at once, then put a space or even 2 spaces between the URL's

Thanks Ken for saving the day. I knew about the rear main seal running reverse, and the people that supply the short block did that hadn’t thought about the front seal.
Yes, for the camshafts, I spoke to the Melling rep and that’s how I know that one is reversed right hand. I also talk to the competition cams rep and that’s how I know they do not make one that runs reverse. Maybe tomorrow I’ll find out some good news. Thanks again.

To answer your other question, two piece, Rear main seal, left-hand dipstick

Keep watching next week I hope to start reframing the floor supports. I am collecting material right now. Going with Coosa board and epoxy resin from Total boat two to one. Course of fiberglass mat and some thickener.
This is all new to me, but I think I got it.

I don’t know if anyone knows this, but I read somewhere that is south wind, and a barefoot nautique have the same Hul design as these picture show.
