Nah, it's no problem. Should be about $600 to peel it one time. If you can find someone competent and reasonably priced, that is.

The plot thickens...........

I contacted the previous owner and the boat was "9-step" Awlgripped over a power-blue gelcoat. There is a ton of forum writing that warns against shrinkwrapping over Awlgrip, plus Alwgrip recommends not doing it, and this is exactly what I did :-( Started sanding today, pics attached. I plan to fill, fair, prime, and re-Awlgrip in spring,

Cheers!

Sure those blisters aren't in the primer too? Or even in the gel? If so, it doesn't have anything to do with shrinkwrap.

Ridding of the cancer.

I highlighted the high-spots sanding with 120-grit. Then opened each one with a grinding bit on a Dremel tool. My plan is to coat each with epoxy, fill, fair, prime, and paint.
