Boat interior finish?
Hi, new here.
My info: Retired contractor, finish carpenter, project manager. Boating since 1975.
I have had five boats, 2-fiberglass, 3 aluminum. Building my first wooden boat a 16' Don Hill drift boat.
Question: as I am building/planning the boat I am contemplating the pros/cons of interior finishes for my boat. Requirements are: 1 - looks like a million bucks, 2 - easy to maintain.
Materials materials to be finished: Okoume sides and bottom with Ash ribs.
Options: varnish vs. oil.
appreciate any input.
John

I am in the finish stage my self on a mike baker boat. I am doing a finish on the hull and ribs and i think I am going to do a oil finish on the floor boards. i think they take the most abuse or i hope that's true. i did a white bottom i like the contrast and the ease of clean up i hope it all turns out
