Back when I had the shop I did at the request of the owner a water based varnish job on a 17' Chris Craft Sportsman, looked nice, for a while. The following winter I redid the varnish job with traditional varnish after the water based stuff started to peel. Luckily the owner paid for the varnish, I though ate the labor. Luckily the boat wasn't any bigger. Something like 400 hours for free, not a great way to make money.
