Hi Alisha . Try pressure washing with an electric if you have one or a petrol if you can borrow one. Use the laser wash nozzle with the electric and the second strongest with the petrol . The pencil thin nozzle on mine will rip fittings off I'd say. This should remove all your flakey paint in record time ...next repaint to seal what is left before it starts to deceid to flake .
You can spend a lot on fancy paint, but it's not necessary . I have had moored boats for over 20 years and all I ever use is standard oil based undercoat to seal , it sticks like glue to fibreglass and then overcoated with dulux exterior acrylic gloss , used to be called X10 . I have even used this on my glass sheaved ply top on my old cruiser . Sat in the weather 24/7 on the mooring for 14 years and had no problems... put about 4 single recoats on it in that time . Interior was never touched again . The investigator interior was done the same and has lasted 7 years with only minor retouching for damage. Works for me anyway .
By the way you don't need to use white , cream is also considered good for interior , but really any colour you fancy . Gloss white reflects good amounts of light at night, that's why I use it.
