Hey guys,
My boat's sidepanels are painted plywood and this season they really started to peel/rot. I guess the previous owner cut some corners when doing the work as the plywood isn't even marine grade and the grain was showing. The below pic is from a couple seasons ago and you can see some bubbling starting already underneath fish on the ruler. So after Christmas, replacement plans will commence and off they come, but I'm looking for some advice for those who have done it before. Obviously I don't want to repeat the same painted plywood unless it's properly covered and sealed.
(And yes, I will be turning this into a build thread and it's just one of many projects I hope to get to this off-season)
