Engine compartment appearance/ coatings?

Like SuperDave said, LINE-X (which is also a bedliner) would be "rippled" and hard to keep clean. I would stick with something smooth. Unless there is a smooth, self-leveling version of bedliner.

Like a few have suggested, white gel with color splatter of your boat color looks nice and is the usual. Here's mine:

We use a product called Bilgekote by Interlux. It's an oil based paint designed to resist oil and water. You'll have to do some prep work, light sanding and cleaning with a solvent. If you have any oil left on the surface it won't dry properly. I comes in a bright white and grey. The white is very white, probably brighter than your gel coat. One gallon will be more than enough for 3 coats in a twin engine boat. You can spray it or brush and roll it. It's thick enough so that you won't see any brush marks in it by the time it dries.
Here's some info on it.

Where to buy Bilgekote, although most boat shops can order it for you.

Gel coated engine compartments are the only way to go. Any oil or antifreeze spills are cleaned very easy. Splatter is old and hard to clean and hard to keep looking new. Bayliner splatters.
