varnishing hull

Okay guys (gals),
 
     I have built quite of few boats, I came up on a new project.. 14' stripper canoe.
The hull is stripped in cedar strips, encapsulated with 6 oz fiberglass, 4 coats of epoxy..
Wow , some purity boat...
The beauty of wood must not be hidden under some paint..
 
The issue here is; I want to varnish the hull (outside bottom) with some varnish with UV protection.. This canoe isn't going to be sitting in the water all the time like some larger boats. I don't need bottom paint like I did with the others I have built..
I want to survey for some people advice on what the most recommended brand of varnish(es) that have the best quality.. I want it to last.
