I have four varnished Outrages, that most people think look pretty good, expecially the varnish work.

I STRONGLY recommend against Interlux Schooner varnish. I don't like it and think it is one of the poorer products on the market. It quickly loses it's gloss, and does not hold up well or brush out well. I have had bad luck with it and will never use it again. MY boating territory icludes both the Great Lakes and South Florida.

I use Z-Spar FLAGSHIP varnish exclusively for it's darker tone and superior UV resistance. I don't like Epifanes either. It looks glossy at first, but dulls out quickly.
