There was a product called 'Ultimate Sole' that did a great job ....it
is/was shiny but not slippery, even when wet. I have heard that it has
been discontinued but I bet there a few quarts in someone's inventory
somewhere......worth a try to try and find a quart.
I put 5 coats of it on the cabin sole 6 years ago and it still looks good.

Weren't there some here who really liked polyurethane for floorboards?
I'd love to see some pics and get some input. I have mine sealed and
am trying to decide whether to go that route or stick with varnish,
which is what I know, but will take many coats to fill the grain and
get the finish I want.
By the way, I am a big fan of gloss finish on the floorboards. Yes
they are more slippery than non-skid or unfinished boards, but I'm not
considering those options... and it's not like our boats have acres of
cabin sole on which to achieve a decent velocity. And gloss sure is
pretty!

Joel,
I bought my 36 in 1995. The first year at layup, I removed the
boards and made temporary ones out of 1/2"presswood. I store the
teak and holly in the basement until after the new year. The
undersides get a good check up for damage from water/humidity from
the bilge. Bottom and edges are kept well sealed. On the topside I
give a light sanding and then a thin coat of Minwax - Helmsman -
Spar Urethane - Clear Gloss. The result is a hard, shiny finish
which is not slippery when wet. Floor finish is a matter of taste
but I get a lot of compliments over the appearance of my floorboards.
