In a bilge area use epoxy as it bound to get oily in there and oil based paint be affected by oils whereas epoxy will be able to withstand that.

International Danboline is good stuff. Not sure if you can put it on bare fiberglass but you should be able to find specs online.

Don't forget a respirator of some sort, the fumes especially in the bilge should be avoided
