[SkunkBoat]

I really like the way the deck feels and sounds now. Like its a solid old wood boat.
Feels good on bare feet too.
And when you drop a 3 oz sinker, it bounces back up...
Looks great! I recommend it.

Mistakes made-

Bought gallon of textured and quart of smooth.
THEY ARE NOT EXACTLY THE SAME COLOR!
Touched up the textured with smooth but you can see the slight difference in color! Don't have enough smooth left to do a full coat.

I did smooth around outside edges and 2 coats of non-skid in the middle.. Didn't take time and really tape off the edges of hatches for a nice factory look.

I would say you should go with gallon of smooth on entire deck 2 coats, let cure, then tape edges neatly and do one light coat of textured.

I did the port side dash with smooth. Had windshield off and went all the way up to the windshield with the paint. It doesn't like vertical surfaces. Runs while its drying. You can't fix it. You can't sand it smooth.

Did the smooth with cheap brushes. Had problem with loose hairs. Tried a foam roller, NOT GOOD...slides. Don't what roller is best for smooth. The special rollers they send with textured worked great for the textured stuff.
I didn't try using one with smooth.
