I refinished the cabin sole on my 34+ several years ago and used multiple coats of Smith's CPES - Clear Penetrating Epoxy Sealer on the top side, followed by about 6 coats of Epifanes two- part polyurethane. I have been very pleased with the result which is a glossy finish. Since I stripped and sanded the old floor boards your surface will be a little different from mine, but the CPES is applied until the pores of the wood are filled and level. The CPES is very thin and goes on very easily. I agree with someone who recommended a temperature warmer than 50 degrees. It's a big job, but you'll be pleased with the result and all the compliments. Good luck!
