Sailingfool tells no lies, if you ever have to redo the interior varnish it is a chore you will hate worse than the job of doing it the first time. What I did on my old boat was varnished the trim and left the walls oiled which looked great and I did not have that much to keep up with. The boat I own now is oiled. I am going to clean the wood with the Min Wax cleaner,sand to remove scratches and fill a few screw holes. Then when all this is done I am going to try an old method of a high gloss finish used by gun makers "boiled linseed oil". I have used it to refinish stocks on old guns it is beautiful and holds up for years I did an old Browning and it has lasted for almost twenty years now still looks great. I do not know how well it will work on a boat but worth a try. I tried the olive oil treetment wood looked beautiful but molded real bad after only a month in Florida heat. Any one have any information on the linseed oil let me know before I blow it and waste allot of time. I figure it is an oil and I can wipe it down with Amazon if all else fails.
