If I used ob1jeeper's technique on the hull of my 20 I would still be sanding.
I think his technique is great for small areas but for the inside of your gunwales break out a Porter cable 6 inch DA 320 grit and a bottle of DYKEM or similar cutting dye.
Douse a rag with Dykem and rub it on your gunwale. start sanding at low speeds until you get the hang of it. Once you have sanded through the blue dykem you rubbed on the gunwale you are even with the lows in the peel.
keep the sander flat.
after the 320 do what ob1jeeper says.

Trayder,
The only problem I have with recommending use of power sander to a neophyte, is the likelyhood that they will do more damage than good is pretty high... While it will take longer to do this by hand as you correctly noted that I had recommended), is the likelyhood of accidently creating gelcoat damage that will require re-gelcoating is GREATLY diminished, wehn this type of work is done by hand.

TheDink is not however a "neophyte" even if he was, the use of a cutting dye as a guide eliminates much of the worry of sanding through.
Then again if you do sand through....its pretty easy to re-apply.
