ouch
a gel coat peel is a very expensive job (if done by a pro) usually costing around $9000-$10,000 however it is the only way to totally dry out the hull. You can do this job yourself however, but it will take lots of time and effort. Usually after peeing the gel coat, the underlying glass is allowed to dry either using many heat lamps (moved around everyday) or left to dry out over the course of a couple of months on the hard. The real question is how did the hull get wet?? was it poor quality craftsmanship or are did something happen to the hull?? Is the boat left in the water year round?? a 10 year old hull shouldn't have such a high moisture content unless something happened ( like sanding the gelcoat without applying any barriercoat or paint. A friend of mine just finished peeling the entire hull of his (new to him) tayana 37. it took him about 2 months of after work sanding and grinding. He is in the process now of epoxying the bottom and will be barriercoating and painting in the spring.
