Is it recommended, to help seal against water or just cosmetic?

Both.

Painted with shurwinn William's Tile Clad HS. A true epoxy paint designed to paint the inside of water tower's.
When we all redo these boat's attention to detail's make's a so so job, step up a few notch's. Painting the bildge and having the wire run's neatly laid is part of it.

I don't like Gray bildges. They look dark and dingy.

Nice looking bilge! I see you have a cleanliness issue like myself. The bilge definately looks nicer painted. I like to keep thing original as much as possible. I have stripped the teak out, cleaned and oiled it, my next project will be pulling the bow rail off and cleaning and refastening. etc etc. I just need warm weather.

warm weather would be nice. The painted bilge is nice. I would think it would be easier to spot any potential problems. Swamper, I was wondering if I could take a peek at the boat. I've been pretty bored lately with the cold and snow. Wish I had a garage. Plus now I'm curious as to what you paid. I paid 2500. for my Seafari. Tom
