I'm now ready to paint my Annapolis Wherry. I was ready to purchase Interlux Brightside, but reading the specs I saw where this product is for 'above waterline' . Is this still a good option for the outside of the hull or are there other options I should consider?

RE: ready for paint
Ron, thanks for your explanation. I was hoping this was the case.
Since I will be 'in water' only during use I feel confident with using Brightside. Just never hurts to double check before proceeding.
Thanks again.

Provided that you will not be leaving your wherry in the water for days or weeks at a time, then the Brightsides paint will be fine for the entire hull.
"Bottom" paint is used when the boat is kept on a mooring or slip. It is formulated in a way to prevent bottom fouling, either as an ablative, or anti-fungal coating.
Please post pictures when you are done. We love to see new boats! - Ron
