Reciently I acquired a Cheoy lee Frisco Flyer and naturally want to get it back in the water as soon as I can.
The paint was marginal at best so I thought I would pressure wash it, do the prep paint and back in the water.
Problem I have is that the hull is solid Teak, in most excellent shape I might ad, but I do need to fill some divots, mostly where the bottom paint goes and one side above the water line also has some divots.
I would like to paint above the waterline a high gloss green and am worried about what ever it is that I fill the divots with that it does not fall out later due to the greasy/oily Teac wood, anyone got any ideas, also should I primer over everything prior to paint?????

Welcome to the Forum!

I don't have any experience with boats that size, but try calling Smith & Company in the Bay Area -- right off of Hwy 580 in Richmond.

I think that using some CPES and Smith's Fill-it epoxy fairing compound would be one solution -- I'm sure there are other systems you can buy at Waste Marine.

I like doing business with local folks, and Steve Smith is often available to answer your technical questions about their products.
