Would spar urethane work as a good sealant on a wakeskate and does it look good, shiny and clear?

Or would 2 part epoxy be better?

If you have any other suggestions post them.

Thanks.

i used just strait polyurethane, it dries clear-ish, and seals the wood pretty well. I mainly use it just because i like to draw my own graphics on the bottom Smash

Spar is the most super tits. Do 3 thick coats with scuffing in between coats.
