I would have no problem keeping to that schedule here in cold north Idaho. I like to wait that long between coats sometimes so I get a good fill coat. Although I increase temp to 75 or 80 the garage cools to 60 overnight. Epoxy set time can vary so you may want to be prepared to check on your boat at 2 friggin am just in case.
