Try a few square feet and see how it works out. Most bottom paints
take a lot of hard work to sand off and you put a lot of dangerous
dust into the air while you're doing it.

Is the "Peel Away" system where you layer on the stripper than cover it with
paper like sheets and it all congeals into one mass and you just scrape it
all off? Sounds like a cleaner way to do it.

a water proofing seal or something and what kind of paint would you use.

Yes, it protects against water intrusion into the gel coat. There are
a number of different systems available. Here's a good one but there
