I don't use Cetol, just normal glossy varnish, and I think it looks
fantastic when all the wood on a potter is bright and glossy. It really
gives a shippy look to a plastic boat.
I've been considering adding even more wood trim. I think a strip of
half-round mahogany, say a 3/4" diameter, along the top edges of the cabin
sides would look real nice.
If my transom wasn't already so busy with ladders and motor and thru-hulls,
I'd epoxy a mahogany door skin to the fiberglass and varnish it up.
