I have a 1074 22' O Day that I recently acquired.It has two coats of old paint on it that I want to remove and If the original gel coat is OK I will be happy with that otherwise I will repaint.I do not want to sand it down as I will lose the nonskid pattern on the decks The bottom coat of paint appears to be a good quality marine paint while the top coat appears to be a poorly brushed on paint of unknown type.Does anyone know of a paint stripper I can use that will not destroy the gel coat.All the commercial products that I have found warn not to use on fiberglass as it will soften and destroy the gel coat.

You could sand it down, losing your non-skid, but you can replace your non-skid with KiwiGrip. I've read a couple of glowing reviews of KiwiGrip. Seems to be a very good product with excellent support by the company.
Not that this really answers your questions, but...

Check out this site. http://www.jamestowndistributors.com/userportal/main.do?engine=msn&keyword=jamestown_distributors I remember buying a paint remover that was used on fiberglas. I don't remember the name of the product though but I used it on a cat boat I once owned.
