Been there done that on my 25! I removed several layers of black paint, lightly sanded and buffed back to original.:D:D The gelcoat shines like new now. I keep the boat on a trailer and preferred the gelcoat over peeling paint look. While my boat was blocked I fixed up my trailer, replaced the suspension, brakes, and installed a freshwater brake-flush system (wish I had photographed the progress). It was worth it, if I remember correctly took about 5 days. Good luck.
