Default Restoring Pontoon Deck

I have removed the carpet from the plywood deck. I would like to replace it with a good non skip painted surface rather than recarpet. What type paint should I use after sanding the plywood? I use my pontoon for fishing mainly and want to be able to wash the deck with a hose after catching a slimey catfish.

the easiest is 3 coats of quality Flat oil based paint. adding non slip sand to the 3rd cost. a satin or high gloss will cause bad reflections, blinding you. gray or tan, depending on your decor. this also make for easy touch ups in wear area.
