flat finish for inside

I think there's a strip camoe company that has the idea of just using one coat of epoxy on the inside (saves weight and leaves it textured) then use a finish, not varinsh but some kind of flat Polyurathane.- Rod

Hi I've been building my Freedom 17 and hope (60%) that I make it to Petersborough for the gathering. I've built it in two half's and now have to see how they fit together and how the seating is etc. Possibly if all is as I hope it'll just bolt together with just a gasket of some material like inner...
