I've used the Interlux 2 part Epoxy but you need non-skid because it's slippry when wet. I've also used a product called Duracoat http://www.nonslipcoating.com/anticorrosive.htm

It comes in many colors and hides lots of sins while add a great nonskid surface.

Good luck and clean well and paint fast!

Use a light color... it gets hot in the sun. I did my old 22' Mako 2 coats with 1 gallon. How big is the boat? My25' Chris Craft was a strech on 1 Gallon but it has a huge cockpit.....
