Ready to urethane some wood seats and was wondering if there is a particular brand of Spar urethane recommended. The local Lowes carries the min-wax brand. Does this work good or should I buy a "marine " spar urethane?

Spar actually means "marine". Most any brands are acceptable if the specify they are spar. The stuff at Lowes is fine.

I think J, was in reference to Jason whom is Troutman3000. The OP is just Troutman... of course I could be wrong.
Thanks for the reply. I did not know that "spar" meant marine. 
Yep, TM3000 and I are two different guys. I didn't know there was another Troutman on here when I chose the username. I go by Troutman on several fly fishing forums since its my last name!

I will add that it gives a very nice finish as well. I did my transom with it and did multiple coats over a few days with light sanding between and the finish is clean and smooth and looks great.
