Default Painting for a good finish

I'm just cursing foam "gloss paint" rollers after putting a coat of
paint on the bottom of my boat.

The finish is glossy like an orange - sort of shiny, but with lots of
little pits.

Is there a roller made that does a decent job? I've seen a suggesting to
roll it on, then lay it off with a foam brush. Does that work?

I don't want to have to wet sand an entire boat too many times, and that
two-pot paint is too expensive to use too many time.

To get round this problem I use a roller, then go over the whole area
very lightly and very quickly with a brush. You might ask why I don't
use a brush to start with but this is much quicker. The brushing is done
extremely quickly.
