A while back i asked about if it is okay to put fibreglass below the
waterline of my 28 foot mahogany lapstraked carver mariner.
Overwhelmingly the response was NO.

heres my next question,
Would just using epoxy to coat all wood surfaces of the hull be okay?
or does anyone see anything wrong with it? i need the quickest,
easiest way to make this boat waterproof so i can get a month out of
it this year at least. it has already been sanded down, just waiting
for my next move.

Why would putting epoxy on the the wood make the boat watertight?
Leaks orginate in _joints_ in wood not the wood itself.

Are you sure the boat will not tighten up in the water? Most will.
Water sprayed inside the boat will hurry things along.
