I know somebody who got a new kidney and did really good! So keep thinking positive.
And if your ever in Michigan I'll get you on a boat if I have to carry you myself! No health reason should keep a man off his [ or my ] boat!

Just to follow up for anybodies reference. I got the boat off the trailer and myself and son spent about 6 hours on our backs with two small orbitals and some 50-80 paper. Very easy to go too far on the edges of the chimes had to be cool with that. Even with that grit paper it wasn't nearly as rough as you would think. I did two coats of this paint

I used this to apply

It worked very well with those round edges on the rollers to avoid heavy areas or streaks. I did prep the entire hull with Acetone first and did thin out the paint about %5-10 which did help it flow a bit better. The finish was awesome. After a week went by I did another coat and it glossed up real nice. No sine of any sanding marks at all. Don't be afraid to use 50-80 grit. Here's before and after pics. Time will tell on the durability but taking a very very small screwdriver with some force did not scratch it unless I pushed pretty darn hard. About like the gel coat more or less.

looks great, how much paint did you use?

That looks awesome. I hate the look of bottom paint. My new V-20 has a Virginia bottom but I usually keep my boat in the water for the summer months in a covered slip at a marina my mom manages so I may have to put a coat on the V. Hate to do it but with 3 small kids it's much easier to go to the marina and just go. This stuff may be the ticket. Doesn't look so much like bottom paint.

Oh nevermind. Just seen it's not antifouling. Whoops. Still looks great though!
