I spent 100 bucks for varnish, 50 for epoxy and finished the two latest boats.

I can appreciate a fine looking boat and perfect finish work.

But for me, I ratehr keep it "nice" looking but more towards the utilitarian side.

that said, whatever floats yer boat!!!!

speaking of "whatever floats your boat"............check out this link to our local paper.

with all the guides and outfitters around here, you wouldn't think this would be such a big deal, however, since this article has run, I have become somewhat of a local celebrety - lol - not that I am mind you.

Plenty of ooooohhhhh's & aaaaaahhhhh's and a lot interested folks in wooden drift boats where there was no interest before........good, I accomplished what I set out to accomplish.
