The paint should be over glass/ epoxy

From the looks of the boat, I wouldn't be surprised if it was glass/polyester. A sniff after a bit of sanding or the reaction (or lack of it) to the heat gun treatment will give a quick diagnosis.

I do agree that if the idea is to go ahead with a 'complete restoration', then removing the glass is necessary.

Is budget ($$) a constraint with this project?
