protecting your yak from damage???

most, if not all have scratches on the hull of your yak.
i just bought a used 09 outback and the scratches hurt me when i'm just looking at them. i have yet to take my yak out on our maiden voyage, but i can just imagine the pain when i'm dragging it in the sand let alone launching/landing on the beach.
i was thinking of applying a "urethane" coating to the hull, and maybe all over the exterior.
i was thinking of using Helmsman Spar Urethane. the guys use it to put a protective coating on the headlight lenses. the only factor that may produce less than ideal results is the fact that the headlight lens is a lot more rigid than our yaks. but who know, it might just work?

they have spray on urethane, oil based, water based, etc...

any thoughts?
