Paint for John Boat

[Maverickpro201]

I am trying to find a really good paint and sealer type paint for the bottom of a john boat. I have a couple of rivets that are leaking and the bottom of the boat really could use a fresh painting. Also anyone know what the prep is before painting? 

Thanks

I used Wetlander on the bottom of mine.   Lots of reviews online about it.

wetlander or any of those good epoxy paints are great.  I used steelflex with teflon. it works great like the others, and seals up leaky rivets too

Here is what I've settled on.   No complaints.  And better yet.....No zinc-oxide primer required.   

As with all painting projects PREPARING THE SURFACE is most important......and preparing the surface around the edges of rivets is a chore !    Alcohol & a scrub brush.
