Gelcoat or paint

We knew that the cat we bought needed TLC.....The worst cosmetic problem I have is that the previous owner did "somthing" to the port outer hull......It appears to be painted (yes just that side)..we have determined that there are no core issues...but the job he did it just the worst...we have severe allegatoring in several spots...and it does not appears as if he did any type of priming....just slapped on god knows what type paint.....My thought is that since 3/4 of the boat is gelcoat and in ok condition should I do the repaint with gelcoat or a real marine paint...I would like your thoughts....Thanks.....
