First of all it isn't VARNISH. Second any clear coat that's agitated will also equate to millions of air bubbles. Why didn't you consider brush coats of marine varnish?
If you followed the instructions, and there is no disclaimer about shake time and it's effects. I suggest you stop, and re-think the process.

Why are you using this on a boat, why don't you use a good marine varnish that you apply with a brush?

doc's right.
i better suggest you use polyurethane.
it is much thicker and more water resistant than top coats. just make sure you'll follow instructions more carefully.
do not use sanding sealer if you use polyurethane, instead there is polyurethane sealer made specially for that.
this is if your going to use polyurethane
