Two Coats of Primer

Over the past few days I have applied two coats of System 3 high build yacht primer. It is fantastic. Produces a smooth hard finish that hid all marks in the finish from sanding. Today I sanded the entire surface with 120 grit paper on my small Porter Cable random obit sander, dusted it off and am satisfied with the results, now if it would just get warm enough for the topcaot. I am going to use Behr 100% acrylic porch paint for the bottom of the hull and probably for the whole boat. Good hard finish, scuff resistant and durable and far less expensive.
