Buy spar varnish at the paint store. Unless you store your kayak outside, or in the water all the time, I don't think that there's a huge difference in varnish performance. says the guy with the scratched-up kayaks.

If you want good deals on the accessories, go to John R. Sweet.

If you want a good deal on the Captain's varnish, go to an online chandler. hamiltonmarine.com and cyber-marine.com usually have great prices. westmarine.com has a better selection.
