Paint Question

Any suggestions/comments on using good quality house paint (probably semi-gloss) for the interior of my daysailer?  It is a partially open boat.  I work for a hardware store where I can get a discount on house paints and with finances the way they are, the price of house paint versus topside marine paint makes it an attractive alternative...
 
 I will also check with the sporting goods manager to see what kind of marine paint they could purchase for me.  Problem is we normally have to order whole cases, which could either be 2 or 4 gallons or 4 or 6 quarts...
 
Which ever way I end up going, I will probably apply it with a sprayer...

Flapjack progress

Well, I had grand plans to show pix of the launching this week. Unfortunatly, I had to put my truck in the shop for a transmision(sic) rebuild. She is on the trailor and ready to go though. I am very pleased with the way she turned out and I look forward to seeing how she handles under oars. I will start building the sailing rig this Fall, but I want to get some rowing in this year. I will have some pix of the Flapjack on the trailor within the next few days but the launching has been moved back about two weeks. I look forward to hearing about all of your progress on your various projects.
