> Lee's comments have me spooked a little. And another friend chides me for my imaginary rock landings as my rational for adding just "a little more here and there". I've got to moniter myself better. so just epoxy on the end is ok, the plywood is just more susceptible to getting wet should the end of the boat touch the asphalt in the parking lot. a carefully layed on bias cut of 4 or 6 oz and plastic wrapped on shouldn't be visible with another coat of resin an a little sanding.
