Default Refinish Deck Question , for sailboat ,, for spring ,, Paint question

I painted a hard bimini top I made with Interlux 2 part primer, followed by
Interlux Perfection, 2 part polyurethane, with Intergrip nonskid mixed in.
This worked very well, but the fumes from the primer are right strong.

I am in the planning stage of refinish my deck. Sailboat, 30 plus feet.

The deck is the original non skid. Ok shape after 30 years.

I checked with Interlux. They sell a one part paint for non skid. I like
that because two part paints are so weather conditional and I
am doing the work in the spring.

Now for the question .. the primer. Interlux sells a two part primer
which
seems very sweet. It is an epoxy primer.

The write-up says it will get into the little cracks, etc and that would
be
good. But will it be compatible with the one part finish?

And is it worth while using a two part paint with a one part finish?

Interlux also has a one part primer that seems good.

Any deck experts out there?
