Painting ?'s

I am repainting my boat and forgot a couple of things that maybe I use to know. How long should you wait until you sand, after applying paint? How long does it take a one part paint (interlux bright sides) to really really dry hard and completely (boat is stored outside in high 60 degree weather during day, upper 50s at night, and variable humidity but mostly dry)? How much weight would you guess a layer of paint would add (I have sanded the older stuff, but not down to the wood, so I will be adding some weight to boat)?

Thanks, Dave Walker
