Most surfsters are not tail weighted. CCBC did make one with a massive slug of lead, but I own one and it doesn't swim very well.

I don't know how to accurately drill the screw holes. I'd probably just use the lip as a template on top of the slope, drill perpendicular to the slant of the slope and start the holes a 1/16th further forward to allow for the angle before they reach the slot.

I used to use Krylon Clear and thought it was pretty good, until this site ruined my life by introducing me to System Three Clear Coat.

probably should have noted that I don't finish w/ Ceramithane, I use Envirotex and I'd like to give the system3 a try, but I mix Ceramithand in with the paints that I apply (Createx, Apple Barrel, Delta, it has great bonding characteristics keeps things from lifting and I'll give the a dip prior to a final coat w/ Etex, the lable for the Ceramithane states "use on interior and exterior wood, metal and masonry, use outside on wood, highly polished metals...., protects outside metal fixtures...,protects masonry, concrete, terrazzo"...I stay away from solvent based stuff, especially sprayed solvent based stuff, this is the first WB poly I've found with these qualities, maybe BS but I've been using it for other work for about a year with good results,
