Re: My 1968 Starcraft Project...
If you want to keep the "Natural Wood" look here is what you do. Coat the woad with epoxy first. Then use a HIGH QUALITY, Marine Varnish that has UV protection. Epiphanes Is one of the best. Two or Three coats and you're good to go. You will need to re-apply the varnish about every three or four years depending on how much use the boat gets and how much exposure to the elements. If you want a bit of a Non-Skid surface sprinkle some sand on the next to last coat when its wet Then put the last coat over that.
