(If you're on a budget Z-Spar can be purchased for about 25% less the price of Schooner.)

I agree with Larry. When it comes to varnish I`m not on a budget, but I always have and always will use Z-Spar varnish. Why mess with a good thing, BTW people who varnish boats and get paid to do it mostly use Z-Spar varnish. Its easy to use, and lasts as long or longer than anything else. I`m not a vain person but I like to see my face in my varnish work.
