Been there done that!!  And you are right its not fun!  But scraping will take a lot off. Just be careful not to dig into the gel coat!! 
 
Even after soda blasting your not done, you will need to paint with barrier paint then a top coat, in it stays on trailer there will be no need for anti foul.  
 
He may be right the paint,  with water will not clean up that easy, I would scrape what will come off, and wait till spring for the blasting.
