    New floor and transom, what to topcoat with?

    I bought a Ventura that has a new floor, core and transom. Floor is epoxied over the wood and the transom has been sprayed with primer. What should I be using to topcoat with? Need something that is easy and can be rolled on as I have never done this before. Can I roll new gel onto the transom? Or should I use a topside paint like EZpoxy? For the floor how about something like Kiwigrip?
    Thanks for any help.

    Kiwigrip gives a nice finish to walk on. Not cheap though. Keep it light colored.

    Kiwigrip is nice. Although water based I think, so it takes days to fully dry. Truck bed liner is something I've also heard of. They have different textures these days.

    There are people on here that have used exterior latex house paint. Think about how well that holds up on your house. Endless color choices,inexpensive and easy touch up.

    Great idea! Thats what we will do for the floor. Still not sure what to do for the transom though.

    I have kiwi grip on an open boat. It’s two years in. It is quite an aggressive non slip and that does trap the dirt and make it look grubby. It is durable but I have small sumps aft that catch the last drips of deck water. The trapped standing water here has caused it to lift off.
