[QUOTE="Turd Ferguson, post: 464940, member: 24527"] There’s a company called Totalboat that makes a penetrating epoxy for sealing wood. It works tremendously well, I used three coats of the stuff on my marine plywood transom. I thinned the first coat with Acetone, and the plywood ate it up. It’s very viscous, when thinned you can get it close to the consistency of water. It also takes a long time to kick off and dry, letting the wood soak up as much as possible. When I build my front deck I’ll be using it as a sealant and topcoat. I highly recommend the stuff! CRS’s advice is probably the best idea, preventative maintenance is key. Keeping everything as dry as possible and covering the boat when done fishing will help the most in its lonegtivity. That and a good sealer and you’ll be in business. [/QUOTE]
