Well now I have all of the internal stuff done that is much easier without the decks in the way, It's time to get those ends pre-painted before throwing the decks on. I stopped by the Miller paint store, and they recommended their Acrilite semigloss latex with an oil base primer to make sure it sticks to everything (Wood, epoxy, PL premium). Masked off some surfaces and got to it.
I did one coat of primer and 2 coats of finish and had no problem calling it done. Each coat took a total of just over an hour using a 6" roller and a brush.
Came out pretty nice. I also laid a little down on the bow and transom where i'm going to mount hardware before putting the decks down. Bow eye in front and rudder gudgeons in the rear.
This paint is supposed to be as hard as an enamel after 21 days but maintain the flexibility of latex. We'll see :-)
