    Steve,

    The plastic bucket routine will be something that I eventually take
    into account then. May not be the best way for us but it is certainly
    a way. Time will tell.

    Varnishing the cans? That's a new one for me. Don't see any reason
    why it wouldn't work though.

    I might have missed it but are you building your own steel boat or
    having it built professionally (I'm presuming you are not a
    profession steel boat builder.)? It's something I am starting to
    research seriously an am interested in "speaking" with those who do
    it professionally. I just can't see myself building a good steel boat
    myself when I, currently, do not know how to weld and would have to
    learn that first not to mention a whole host of other things specific
    to steel building I'm sure.

    Rick
