my bro tried to put a couple coats of lacker on his board and it was good for a bit but within a week it started to peel and in two it was gone again so if you want go for it but it might be worthless

polyurathane (sp) and don't spray it on, use a really good quality brush. sand it w/ a high grit sandpaper between coats... it should not peel, water doesn't really effect poly, sun does.... that and i guess rails Smile

btw, there are a lot of different varieties of poly so you need to talk w/ either someone on this board about which is best or the folks at your local hardware store....

i'm going to put a coat on my 4 trac soon-

you get a thicker coat with a brush, but spraying works good as well.
The key is sanding.

I say boat varnish and sanding in between layers! Just my two cents, if you could ever trust a chick...

you can use spray poly, just be sure to get a few extra layers on it.
