I'm re-doing a 1969 13-footer. [The hull is] now nice and dry, and the transom is still good; it was a bit damp, and I dried it with heat lamps. The hull has been inside drying for a while. I sanded it. I just glassed the transom with 6-ounce and Silvertip.
I plan to do a glass-over of the bottom Vee's, then sides, bottom, and middle keel.
I want to paint it white on the outside and robin-egg on the inside. I am not sure what specific paint colors to use. I am not sure if I will use ablative paint. The boat is mostly going to live on its trailer.
I might need some more advice once I get to the other side.
I like System-3, Petit, and Interlux products.
[The boat] needs all the woodwork, and I don't have patterns.
Thanks for any replies.

What is "Silvertip"?

Good epoxy. Putting a glass skin on the whole bottom.

Thoughts on Petit Vivid White hard ablative ?
Re: 1969 13-footer Restoration
I am in the middle of a restoration project myself on a 76'. I went with TotalBoat wet-edge for the inside and outside after using their epoxy primer. Color for inside was "classic Whaler blue" and I went with their blue-glow white for the outside. Mine will be sitting in the water, so I will use bottom paint once I add a water line. Very happy with the colors and product.
