It's been awhile but I've made some progress. I finally gave up on the citri strip on the anti skid floor as it was ineffective. So I took a grinding wheel and went to town. All the antiskid is off just in time for the winter. Since I don't have a heated garage, I'll have to wait until early spring to sand the boat down with an orbital sander to smooth all the pits in the gelcoat left by the citristrip.

In the spring, my biggest unknown is what to do with an apparent repair by the previous owner at the back corner of the boat where the left side meets the transom. Not sure if I should leave it alone or tear it apart and try to "improve" the repair. It looks like the repair is delaminating a bit at the edges so my gut is telling me to tear into it. But I figured I would try to get some advice from members here.

Here are some pictures of the questionable corner:
