Ian,

Please keep us posted on the polyurethane clear-coat info. Since I'm working out of my apartment, I like the idea of taking the boat to an auto body shop. One draw-back would be that you wouldn't be able to do touch-ups or re-coats yourself, either.

Are the 100%-solids polyurethanes what's refered to as '1-part polyurethanes'? I saw 4 CLC's done in 1-part poly paint applied with rollers, and they looked very professional (only little ripples from the rollers' fibers that gave it a slight 'orange-peel' look), but this was shortly after they were built, so I don't know how they hold up to scratching.
