: Does the coating need to be clear?

: Thinking outside the box, how about elastomeric roof coating.

I would really like it to be clear! This boat is really nice looking, so I would like the wood to show through. I guess I'm just wondering how light I can go and still be waterproof. I can't find an answer to that below
