[QUOTE="derekdiruz, post: 425602, member: 16025"] In my boat, I'd paint gluv it on the seams where rivets are. Just another small step to help piece of mind. I have contemplated and thought about truck bed liner in mine below the floor.. I think in the future I'll use raptor liner. I've used this on many vehicles with lasting success, and under the floor of a boat it would be in much less of a harsh environment so it should hold up well. Personally I want it to add to the rigidity (if it does at all) to the hull. Further, I feel like it will help with some noise... but honestly, I'm probably using it just to use up what I have laying around my house. For the sealant of the wood, especially if it's your floor I think it needs sealed. Spar urethane worked well with me, but takes forever to dry for additional coats. Also it's hard to work with because it doesn't set fast. It's much like a viscous paint. For any future uses of wood I intend to fiberglass it. Quickly sets so I can get a lot done in a day versus paint and wait.. also, it's cheap, I'm familiar with it, and when it needs replaced I'll dread it a little less. Lol. Good luck!
