Ha Ha Craig, what a concept!

so if you put it on slow enough you can just keep going around your boat till its all gone. I may have to try this out, since I have a few rock marks to get rid of.

Just read on Jamestown Dist. they have developed a new high gloss marine varnish called Lust in their Total Boat line. You can overcoat in 1 hour at 72 degrees with no sanding between coats and can apply up to 5 coats in one day. $33 a quart. Could be quite a time saver.

I like the epifanes, I can go around my boat with only a couple batches. It takes quite a beating to get any marks in to it. I like to use Danish oil on the insides.

Hi Marty, my suggestion would be Interlux or Epifanes. There has been good feedback on this website for System Three spar urethane also. Jamestown Distributors has a good selection. It all depends on how you want your boat to look and how much money you want to spend. A local hardware store spar varnish will do the trick for less money, but will not have the durability of the ones mentioned above which are $100 + a gallon.
