Sand your plywood surface, removing any rough spots. Sanding the wood before you begin will help to eliminate any snags that will come up after the initial painting. After sanding, wipe the entire surface with the tacky cloth to remove residue.
Plywood, while a relatively inexpensive product to use, can be particularly tricky when it comes to finishing. Whether you are creating an easy floor or a hobby project, plywood is easy to use and cut to whatever shape or size you need. It is, however, wood, and wood will soak up any type of paint, primer or sealer you put on it without a little work. It can also be a slightly rough surface, making it more difficult -- but not impossible -- to get that smooth finish you want.
Start with your paint brush, painting the primer around the edges of your project. Create a one to two inch painted line completely around. Finish applying the primer coat using the roller, making sure to apply an even, thin coat over the entire area. Allow to dry completely.

This does not effect the durability of the plywood, it just may not look as nice as you expect. These superficial blemishes will not effect the lifetime warranty on the plywood, it will be covered by carpet.

I know that when I had my pontoon boat a few years ago it was over $2000 per year just for the slip rental, and that was a good deal! Then once you factor in maintenance, gas, repairs, I easily hit that $3,200 mark.
What’s more important to you? If you want to save as much money as possible, or want to experience pontoon boat ownership before really investing a lot of money into, buy used. Or, if you’d rather have a boat that you know will last you decades, and you don’t mind spending the money, buy new. [links]
Most pontoon boats are made of aluminum, and these will consistently last closer to twenty years, and possibly much longer. Aluminum is very durable and it’s easy to repair if it gets dented or scratched. I recently purchased a 20+ year old pontoon boat that we got several years of fun out of, though it had regular issues that had to be repaired. Nothing major.. but it did seem like there was always something that needed to be repaired. I have since sold that boat and am eyeing a newer one.
The downside, of course, is cost. New pontoon boats are expensive, and they depreciate immediately after being purchased, so once you’ve paid for it you’ll never be able to get all that money back. In that sense, it’s just like buying a new car. Really though, it’s worse than buying a new car because of seasonality. Used boat values fluctuate pretty wildly throughout the year, used cars will hold pretty steady. here

Therefore boat care is important, take some care over the storage of your boat.
