Just in case you didn't know..which you probably do but this will increase the analytics. Any holes you drill through the deck if it has a core should be over drilled then filled with thickened epoxy first. Then re-drill the smaller hole so your hole is sheathed in epoxy. Or at least epoxy the sides of the hole (not as good). The parts of the boat you epoxied should have a barrier coat put on it. And finally if it were my boat I'd consider putting a Samson post at the bow instead of a cleat. You're doing a great job, loving these videos.

Alittle tip regarding your sanding disks getting gummed up with paint ect. Before you start sanding with a new disk rub some candle wax over it. Doesn't completely eliminate the build up of paint that gets caught in it but makes them last just that little bit longer 👍🏻

or get some mesh sanding sheets as they dont clog, and you can blow them through.

I was wondering when you would take off all the fittings instead of trying to sand around them. I would take off the stainless railings too. Also, I've got a theory about that paint blocking up your sanding disks. It seems it is a water-based latex paint which just melts when you sand. Have you tried a good paint stripper, get most of it off and then sand the underlying gelcoat smooth

It could have been decorators caulking instead of putty normally used for covering cracks in plaster in the corner of a room. It stays soft without cracking and can be painted over. Once you are down to the original none slip surface that I can see at 4.14 mins of your video you're almost there ready for painting, but it's no race just a bit at a time will get you there. It seems there's no end to the bodge jobs and I can honestly say I found many in my house when I bought it 40 yrs ago and back then it was only 4 yrs old.

I know epoxy is expensive, but when including the cost of your your labour isn't it actually cheaper to wirebrush then thick epoxy at least some of the worst areas to give a smooth surface to paint/gelcoat rather than sand them down to smooth? i.e. in a house, if you had a rough wall with dodgy plaster from removing wallpaper you wouldn't bother sanding it down, you'd just skim it as it's actually quicker and less messy.
