    I would go clear epoxy with this kind of boat. Thanks for posting pictures.
    This one is easy to seal all the way. I wouldn't go as far as calling it saturation and epoxy saturated wooden construction is a whole other beast. Very good, but needs to be done during construction in between thin veneers.

    "Saturate" with 3 coats of clear epoxy before paint. You will have a boat that will outlast your grandchildren with proper maintenance.

    I wish you were in Texas so I could ask you where you got your Cypress lumber from. ;)
