[QUOTE="Brine, post: 163966, member: 1053"] IMO, poly's aren't the best option. Once they cure, they become very hard, and once flexed (as in a deck you walk around on) are prone to cracking/failing. Naturally, how you support your decks would also be a factor. I think the latest consensus as the "best" sealer is a spar urethane. Not to say you can't just buy a quality deck sealer and have good results too. Many folks on here have. If you know you will be fishing often in the rain, the boat is kept outside etc.... I'd probably get the best sealer I could afford. If you haven't looked yet, there are a few guys on here that have gotten some old road signs (legally of course) for cheap. Maybe a phone call to your local DOT is a good start. I'm using an ACM panel in my build, which I hope ends up being a good middle ground between wood and aluminum. Too early to give dependable review though. The ACM I am buying is $2/sq ft. [/QUOTE]
