i personally haven't but my cousins build a lot of boats and that's what they told me to do. I just asked him and he said it lasts for a pretty long time. This is what I used. But gloss black.

Not to be a downer, but that stuff will never last. i had it in my first boat and it all chipped and got messed up in 3 trips. skuff it up well and put a clear coat over it and it will last a bit longer. :thumbup: :thumbup:

Buy a cheap da sander and a roll of 320 paper for it and you will have it sanded in 20 mins then clear it

I agree with jake to much flex and movement on a boat plus I'd get ahold of jack at mpd if you plan on putting some decent hp to this there great boats but have issues on shit down if you don't drive em thru the back door. He can sell you or instal a set of pods that will help the boat out jmo

Yeah I have agree here. It's just my opinion but, you couldn't pay me to drive a cp or Texas tunnel. Some of the most dangerous boats ever built. Every person I know that has owned one has been tossed out of them. With that being said.
Get with jack at MPD and get the pods on there and a jet-a-way/ pop off if you plan on putting a good amount of hp.

The "shit"down that Justin mentioned hahaha
