With all due respect, you're a bit off with your building knowledge.

Cedar is a terrible building wood. The epoxy / glass makes it a boat and be able handle water and stress.

I looked at your boat photo. Why strip it at all???? sand it with 220 and give it a coat of varnish and enjoy life.

Also, If you do strip and re-glass it, working outside will be fine. Bugs?? you have to sand anyhow.

Believe me, just re-varnish it!!!!
