I'm probably not going to like the answer... I'm very glad that the
gelcoat on my mistress is in great shape.

*I can't imagine a reason to remove all of the gelcoat off of anything. *In
refinishing, you get down as deep as needed in problem areas and then build
it back up, scuff up the rest, and shoot a new thin even coat on the whole
thing, and be done with it. *Thin is the key; don't put on more than you
took off.

I have seen several examples where someone attempted to remove only
the "bad gelcoat" layer. In a year or two it looked terrible!
