I have a cuddy but frisky doesn't knock too often these days unfortunately. :)
I suspect he's using it because it remains a bit flexible and is relatively water proof. I think epoxy would be too brittle. The wood needs flex due to variance in moisture. Could be other polyurethane products but 5200 is proven.

On my previous 21ft scorpion I had a 21p x 14 1/4, I came across a deal on a Michigan 19p x 15 1/2 that I bought for spare. It soon was my choice. The extra diameter gave me better brakes and didn't have any adverse effect on top end.
I did an old boat just as you described, just oil based house paint with a roller and brush. It lasted about 5 years and eventually disappeared but it didn't peal or flake.
