Derek:
I agree with Mike.....in order to determine the extent of the cracks,
you have to remove the bottom paint to expose the gelcoat. If the cracks
are just superficial to the gelcoat, no big deal to fix.
And if the cracks are superficial to the gelcoat and you are planning on
applying a barrier coat (like Interprotect), the VC 17 has to be stripped.

If you are worried I would strip bottom to gelcoat. Then assess the problem.
You will at the very least wish to apply a barrier coat such as Interprotect
after stripping

Subject: Stus-List Hairline cracks in hull surface
My new to me 1983 29-2 has some fine hairline cracks in various areas on the
hull. I don't know if they extend through the bottom paint or are more
superficial, but they can be felt when you run your hand over them. It is
painted with VC17 and I plan to recoat with that. I'm wondering how to best
deal with the cracks? Does epoxy filler stick to VC17? I have West System
products for other repairs. Sand down to the bottom of the cracks? I guess I
then need to do 5 coats of Interprotect before the VC17?
