    So i sanded down my jon boat and primed it properly,and panited it with majic oil base paint, i gave it 3 coats over 3 and half day period, 24 hours between coats, i satrted painting it on june 23, the problem Im having is the paint is still soft,scratches very easy. is this just because of the high humidity? any suggestions to help curing the paint?

    I would say to much humidity. Even my buddy in his air conditioned woodshop said he isn’t spraying right now.

    humidity.

    once the weather stabilizes, let it sit for a couple days, and see if it hardens and cures properly.

    if not, you may have to try a different paint.

    I was in the same situation a few years ago. Give it about 3 weeks and the paint will actualy cure versus just dry.
