Can I ask why you want such a hard finish? I have done a bit with single part water based poly with realy good results (not on a boat) and use it over solvent based almost exclusively. It levels well, dries faster, the smell is less noticable, and it is easy to repair. I would think that a harder finish would be more fragile and tougher to fix. I have done several wood floors now with antique oil and wax with excellent results and would never think of going back to a hard finish there.
