I'm not surprised at all...the more you finish stuff...the more it costs to make the boat. I would use the West System Epoxy to protect the interior wood, and then paint it, if the wood is exposed to UV at all. If it is buried under cushions or in cupboards, the painting isn't necessary.

Yes, it is the same epoxy used for fiberglass. West System was founded by the Gougeon brothers, whose main claim to fame is making very nice laminated WOOD boats.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
