Re: XF 20 Build

Re: XF 20 Build

It's been a while since visiting the forum. The paint decided to fail over the past few years, I finally got all of it off the boat and recoated it with system three pennant primer and did a quick redo job with the kiwi grip. I haven't decided on what paint to go with yet but I've been running it li...

Re: Time To Repaint My XF20 Any Suggestions?

EMC/Quantum Seems a little pricey and says to spray it only or it needs a clear coat on top? Did you spray or roll and tip Jaysen? After pressure washing some more, the kiwigrip non skid is only coming up where i overlapped the topcoat paint... So I might stick with it for the non skid. I'll check i...

Re: Paint Falling Off XF20 System Three Primer Totalboat Topside Paint

I’m also not a fan of mineral spirits for cleaning paint brushes. After my first paint debacle, I throw the brush away after each coat. Yikes. I've been cleaning my brushes and thinning with mineral spirits, as directed by Jamestown Distributors with their TotalBoat topside paint. They now tell you...

Time To Repaint My XF20 Any Suggestions?

I just pressure washed the entire topcoat of totalboat topside paint off my xf20. After fighting the peeling and poorly adhering paint since day one it's finally time to take it down to the primer and repaint it and the non skid.

Re: XF 20 engine choice

My Mercury 60 Sea Pro Big Tiller does great on mine. I wouldn't want anything heavier but my seapro is the same weight and gearcase as the 90 and 115's. I get about 27mph fully loaded.
