It depends on the condition of the fiberglass deck. Is it structurally sound or do you need to build some thickness and strength into it? I like 1708 bi-axial glass and epoxy resin. Epoxy is stronger than poly resins. Maybe check out BoatWorks Today website. He has a lot of videos on working with glass.

I'm guessing that there is plywood under that fiberglass. What condition is it in?

If you're looking for non-skid, easy on bare feet and reasonable maintenance, you should look at SeaCork.

Yep what he said! Glass in epoxy is the most cost effective and easy to maintain. I did one this way and just laminated a piece of heavy roven cloth heat trimmed 1" smaller on all edges fot the last layer with a thinner wetting out top coat and got a very good non skid surface that left clean edges along the cabin and toe rails.
