All of the inside is sealed with epoxy. On the outside I stained the wood with a dark stain and put 3 coats of Minwax indoor/outdoor Helmsman spar urethane and was planing on leaving the hull wooden and just painting the cowl but just didn't like the way the color came out.

All hardware is installed. All I need to do now is change the prop and put her in the lake to see how she does?

When I balance this boat do you balance it with the tank full or empty?

Empty. Best check to see if you paint is nitro proof.. With the urethane, it might be ok.
