M_Boats: New-Old M-17

Endelig, our 1978 M-17, has been restored. On the first outing, we could not get the centerboard to drop. So I guess she isn't completely restored yet. I now have the centerboard out and am preparing to fair it with epoxy. My question is, what paint should I use for a final coat on the centerboard? She will be dry sailed on the trailer and only be in the water when we sail. No anti-fouling paint needed. Thanks, Bill Sylvester Endelig M-17 # 279
