Brian,
I agree with Paul that the coating is cosmetic but, if it's cracking and peeling then I would suspect things below it are not in good condition.


If on the stringers/ or over a wooden reinforcement pad, if on the hull itself I would worry less, sometimes they just put on the gel pretty thick to cover fiberglass imperfections and it is then prone to cracking.

Cosmetic
Grind it off and coat with the product of your choice. 3M 24 grit 4” grinding disc work well.

'81 SN, the grayish lumpy bilge finish....cosmetic only?
Or structural?

This one shows a lot of cracking and peeling, evidence of saturation?

Thanks much
