polyurethine
I think I spelled that correct.
It holds up in water very well.

some guys are using Gelcoat if I am not mistaken.

It's a shame they had such a bad oil leak after gelcoating the bilge that nice white.
On my old Tahiti, I used epoxy garage floor paint to coat the bilge. Looked good, and flowed out real nice and smooth. Kinda ghetto, but hey.....

I used oil based house paint, easy to apply and touch up. Clean it good and use Kilz primer sealer. Not as trick as gel but looks pretty good.

i used a mix of roll in and spray in bed liner. i like the way it came out.

Many many ideas to choose from.
You can roll gelcoat or spray, we rolled gelcoat.
Poly is a little cheaper the gelcoat and last just as long

Another option is Bilge Kote from west marine.
It's a thick grey epoxy that dries smooth and glossy. It's inexpensive, easy to apply(I brushed it into my bilge) and seems to hold up well.
Just another choice to consider...
