I am close to finishing a 50's style runabout and considering what is the
best finish to put on the teak decking. It has to stand up over the years
and retain that classic runabout gloss look with as little maintenance as
can be reasonably expected. I am considering 3 coats of epoxy followed by 3
coats of spar varnish for the uv protection. Anyone satisfied with other
glossy sealants that have stood the test of time ?

Sounds good but I'd think about 6 coats of varnish for the
first year. Nothing about varnish is "as little
maintenance" unless you keep it covered a.k.a. "the elephant
man boat".
