Default Shes all done & ready & thanks

Well some time ago I began a resto on my 21yr. old wooden Drift Boat. Shes ready to go !
I wanted to thank those of you who replied to my questions on the wood and how to go about re-doing it. Alot of the advice served very well, from past experiences and good ol folk know how. I went with going down to bare wood entirely on the inside, sanded,sanded, sanded, and used watco oil 3 coates, buffed it, let it set a couple weeks then went with a Spar varnish 2 coates for now,2 more in the summer. Shes a real beuty, and ready for some long days on the water. Starting Sunday ! Hey wheres the fish ? Im gonna hit the Clack since its close...
Again thanks, this forum is all right with me. Again Driftin in my Woody....
