[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 410717, member: 13599"] welcome aboard !! If you could expand more on what part of the country you hail from and how your boat is used and stored could get you more accurate feedback. sunlight UV rays really beats up any kind of finish. varnish, urethanes, paint, epoxy, etc etc so if you store your boat under cover 9 months out of the year, most any type of wood and finish would last a few years. Most of us really wish the wood treatments would last a lifetime, but, that is not gonna happen. So, we must deal with the elements - - - follow the basic exterior finishing techniques and you will be fine (for a few years). then, replace them again. Personally, I would suggest a good A/C exterior grade of 3/4" plywood and stain and preserve to your liking and it would last twice as long. a half sheet would be enough for your seats and transom. read, understand and follow all directions of the products you may use.
