Well the problem lies in the fact that the polyester gelcoat would not stick to
the epoxy.

You will have to use poly. I won't stick as well, but will have to do.

Yeah, that's it exactly.

The boat BUILDERs that I ask this question invariably recommend epoxy. The boat
REPAIRers I ask usually say "use the same material that's the If it's poly,
use poly..."

Building a boat from scratch: epoxy, no question. Repairs on FRP/gelcoat? Jury's
still out...
