Hello Mr. Kayaken If your boat is like mine was I'd say "RUN FOR THE HILLS" Just kidding. Although my 15 footer needed extensive repairs topside, I have enjoyed the whole process of rebuilding. I'm probably crazy. Anyway using an angle grinder, I found that a flap disc, 40 or 60 grit made short work of the gelcoat. But care is needed when grinding. Those discs can be aggressive. I did the entire topside with one, except the transom which was in good shape. Hope this helps you. Ernesto.
