Hi all,
I am stitching together the hull panels and am trying to plan ahead on whether I will paint or varnish the entire boat. I would like to give it a nice wooden finish to my boat and have a few questions:
-Has anyone varnished the entire boat? How has that experience been in the durability/maintenance?
-In the manual they use primer inside of the bulkheads, etc once everything is fiberglassed - has anyone used varnish instead of paint?
-Will varnish make the boat more prone to water issues?
I also am working on the spars and am almost ready to varnish them.
-Did anyone coat the spars in epoxy prior to varnishing them for waterproofing?
Also, did anyone paint or varnish their centerboard after they finished fiberglassing it?
Thanks,
