    I am about to repaint a 14' Larson white cedar rowboat. It's been stored undercover since 1946 and has no rot or decay. The last owner painted the inside which I want to repaint inadditon to the hull below the water line.
    This boat will be used only fresh water and stored under cover.
    I would appreciate your advice on a paints to use and an online source from which they could be purchased.
    Thanks.

    Rustoleum which you can buy at any paint store is superior to whatever paint is has on. Alkyd resins have improved a lot.
