My exterior coat was probably house paint and was falling right off so I totally stipped. If yours is sticking really well then you may be able to just scuff and prime with something designed to go over existing paint and save a bunch of time.

How much you need to remove also depends on the type of finish that's on there. If you're putting a 2 part epoxy on it then the original has to be two part. I checked with StarCraft before I stripped completely and they told me my boat was painted with a 2 part epoxy. That saved me a TON of work since all I needed to do was scuff it good with 80g paper.

80 is what Interlux recommends to get the best adheasion. The primer and barrier coating fill it in.
