Never really covered the boat much over the last ten years or so and it

So, ten years ago I spent 450 dollars on materials and paint, and had a
nice boat for 45 dollars a year. Not bad. Time to build another one

On that vein, I have been getting an itch now that Jess is starting to
move beyond my capabilities to work with her... The spring I moved to
take care of my dad, I was just getting the material together for a
build of a 20 foot river cruiser... It might be time to bring those old
lines out and take another look..

Was the end grain sealed with epoxy?

Was it built with Okume?


Well, it was sealed ten years ago but not tended. And no, not Okume... I
have an okume boat in the back yard now for over ten years with no paint
or finish at all, it still hasn't rotted
