I'm getting ready to do some painting in the master stateroom of my Chris Craft 410.
Historically, there have been leaks at the windows (typical), and also at the toe rail (appears that the toe rail covers the deck to hull joint) - resulting in water penetrating to the interior cabin wall.
I've removed the old covering, installed beadboard (hopefully not something I regret!), and will be diligent with the leaks. However - leaks happen...
I was planning to use oil based paint on the beadboard - but then started thinking about latex interior paint. The painting and brush cleanup would be MUCH easier with latex.
Is it a BAD idea to use latex where I will likely at some point have leaks from time to time? Do they make special latex paints for bathrooms, where a lot of moisture would be common?
I'm on an inland, fresh-water lake. At least for now, there is no salt air exposure (though there is a tiny chance I may move to the coast some day... and don't want to do anything that would be bad there...). The interior of the boat is generally well protected - aside from potential leaks. For now, I'm also under a covered slip - which helps a LOT with maint. - but can't be guaranteed.
