T&T: Deck Refinishing

Last year had the teak deck removed from Consort and had filled the 990
screw holes. The deck surface has no leaks.  The fiberglass deck under the
teak was smooth and ready to be finished. So it was lightly sanded, painted
with a primer and two part epoxy paint (two coats).  
Now the paint is cracking and the manufacturer is saying to sand off the two
part epoxy as it is a hard nonflexible product and should never have been
used on the flexing deck of a trawler.  
So my plan is to remove the cracked paint and primer with sanding and
repaint.
My question for this wise listing is this: After the old paint and primer is
sanded off, what paint or product would you suggest I use on the deck?  
Your sage advice is welcome.  Thanks
