Weren't there some here who really liked polyurethane for floorboards? I'd love to see some pics and get some input. I have mine sealed and am trying to decide whether to go that route or stick with varnish, which is what I know, but will take many coats to fill the grain and get the finish I want. By the way, I am a big fan of gloss finish on the floorboards. Yes they are more slippery than non-skid or unfinished boards, but I'm not considering those options... and it's not like our boats have acres of cabin sole on which to achieve a decent velocity. And gloss sure is pretty! cheers Andy C&C 40 Peregrine
