Looking like a commercial fishermen finish, not a trailer queen finish...ace hardware $20.00 gallon oil base paint, r rustolium paint, both will do the job....Hey Microskiffer’s. Just picked up a new to me Ankona Native 17. Nice little skiff, but the floor looks like crap. It’s a splattered type gelcoat, I think, that has yellowed and seems to hold dirt. The pictures are after I scrubbed with Starbrite Fiberglass Stain Remover, which on my other boat usually removes everything. The other thing that bothers me is the nonskid was rolled up about 3” onto the front bulkhead, console and stern storage tub and the console is white but the nonskid is blue.
My desire is go with an all white rolled and brushed product inside the cockpit; floor, console, bulkhead and stern tub then cover the floor with Seadek for the skiff pup. So 98% of the floor in the wear areas will be covered by the Seadek, basically only an inch or two around the perimeter and any seam between pieces. I’m also ok with the uncovered portions of the floor retaining the “splattered” look with the new white product. So the finish counts most on the bulkhead, console and stern tub.

At this point, I’m thinking about Interlux Perfection, but all insight and suggestions would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance!
