The polyurethane sealer on this boat is cloudy with some runs. This is primarily an aesthetic issue with a slight reduction in durability. Lifespan for a skin with average use and stored away from sunlight is 5 - 10 years depending on use. Expect this coating to be somewhere in the middle of that range.The keel has a slight bow.
