I should have been more clear. It has antifouling paint on bottom. But the boat will be trailered, so should I strip off the antifouling paint or have it re-painted.

Paint removal is a lot of work. Repainting over what you have is probably easier. If you can remove it all and buff up the gelcoat, that would be nice.

Didn't mean to leave you hanging, perhaps some others could help with cost of either stripping the hull completely or repaint. I have no idea. The cost of the repair will probably depend on what you currently have on the bottom. If it has a lot of paint, stripping could get pricey. Have you tried calling around to folks in your area?

An IDEAL way to go is to have the bottom paint removed via soda-blasting (sand-blasting only w/using baking soda instead of sand)...it's fairly expensive IF you can find someone who does it in your area...wish I could do, but I'm taking the hard route and removing manually...paint stripper just didn't do it...I don't recommend this, but I'm ruining the gel-coat on the bottom by sanding this stuff off, but like yours, I'm gonna reapply fresh bottom paint and keep on trailer...
