I used Sterling Paints and had good support.
I was a little disappointed in how the finish coat went on. Not sure if I had a bad batch or not. It ran quite a bit and I had to re-sand and do it a few extra times in some areas. The primers and fairing compounds were very good. I used the fairing compounds where I had a vertical joint in the side plates. The welds tended to pull in a bit there so I filled them in.

And is that an Arneson drive sticking out the back? Some details on the engine/expected performance would be fascinating.

The drive is Q-SPD out of New Zealand. Works good although steering reverse to the port side is a little weak. Starboard in reverse is quite good. So good you can parallel park with the use of the bow thruster.
