Those photos are a familiar site, having just gone through the same process on my boat. As a suggestion, since the decks are going back to bare timber give consideration to using a layer of light 2 oz fibreglass cloth between the epoxy coats. I was advised to do this on my decks, and the result is a very stiff frame with minimal extra weight (2oz/sq metre). The timber is more resistant to damage, and the finish very uniform. Attached photo shows cloth being laid over wet epoxy. Happy to provide more detail if you wish.
