Derek, Ditto Bob's comments. I bought my boat a year ago, the previous owner used VC-17. I sanded it and applied VC17 last year (and it was fast). I did the same this year.
Ask Todd over at Thomas Hardware in Grosse Pointe, he will steer you the right direction.

If that is the case, then this may be a good time to start fresh. If the current paint is in good shape, I'd tend to just re-coat with VC-17.
