I would be taking all the gel off yes.. not sure id peel it on such a thin hull though, unless you set it just deep enough for most of the gelcoat then finish with a grinder or DA.
Never used the 422 but any laminating epoxy will be a better true barrier coat than interprotect or the like… If the glass underneath the gel is in real bad shape you might wanna put a light layer of cloth down to keep the original stuff from “checking” thru the new shiny paint job. Epoxy use a surfboard cloth, some people will do an entire layer of mat too if theyre using the smelly shit. Are you putting bottom paint back on?

Thx for the reply and info @dirtwheelsfl
You asked if I plan to use bottom paint once restored and my thoughts currently are no, don't foresee any extended stays in the water. I've seen some restorations were they put a layer of glass following gelcoat removal. I plan to skim and fair the entire hull so reckon I'll already be addressing any imperfections on the hull so may not hurt. One other thought I had regarding the hull thickness was I intend to glass the entire interior of the hull through the restoration process, removing the inner liner and on the sides applying a foam board covered with glass and faired. For the exterior you suggest cloth, would that provide any structural strength or is this just to prevent checking? Mat would provide structural strength and prevent checking correct? What is this smelly shit you describe?
