I am looking for the best paint to use above the waterline on the hull of my boat. 35 years is showing signs of wear.

1 part or 2 part??
if you really want a professional looking job (I'm assuming you're doing this yourself) go with a 2 part epoxy like Interlux's Perfection. Roll and Tip method with good prep (prep is the most important part of a good job!!!) the hull will look great. If you just want it to look "better" than it currently looks and you don't mind doing it again in about 3-4 years, I prefer Interlux's Brightside 1 part epoxy. Again prep is important. I just tried Petit's Easypoxy this weekend on a job and I didn't like how it went on. Very runny and lots of air bubbles (even after tipping it) it took me 3 coats to make it look decent. just my $.02 if you can get someone to spray with an airless sprayer, Perfection looks alomst like brand new. Or get awlgrip ($$$$) and spray that on. the upside of Awlgrip is that it will last SO MUCH LONGER!!!!
