[QUOTE="HahnZooKeeper, post: 263306, member: 6693"] Well I am finally getting a little time and money to get back to work (emphasis on little!!!). The next thing that needed to be done was urethane all of the wooden pieces. I had an extra $40 bucks burning a hole in my pocket at the beginning of the month, so I blew it on a gallon of urethane and a few $.99 paint brushes. Almost cheaper than gas!!! LOL. We have most of the floor pieces done and the transom has a simple carving in the one end. Man, when I put the first coat of urethane on the transom it really brought out the amazing natural color of the white oak. It looks beautiful!!! I could not be happier with it. I still had to cut the hatches out in the casting deck, so I knocked that out. It turned out pretty good to this point. The next step will be the BIG one... putting a sealant on the hull. I'm leaning towards that Gluvit stuff. I've heard alot of guys on this site blogging about it with good revues. Only problem is, at this rate it will take me three months to afford a gallon of it! Is it worth it or is there another alternative?
