I would have to second Wart's suggestion of the Tileclad HS. I followed his lead on that from classic mako and am extremely pleased.
I have used it under the helm area and it brightens it up nicely. I will be applying it to the inner v-birth area in the spring and am looking forward to that. I have yet to try it in the bilge but I have no doubt it will be great there to.
You can get a two gallon kit for a little over a hundred bucks and the stuff goes on great and looks great, very easy to work with. My problem is I had too much left over after the small project I did. But I will use it up, no doubt.
The pic does not do the stuff justice. It is tough as nails. I takes a few days to fully cure though.
