Gelcoat Checking Question

In the pic, you will note checked gelcoat, not exactly bubbles.

My question is simple, do I need to remove the gelcoat before reglass? (I plan to fair and then paint the boat, not apply new gelcoat. Not worth the trouble.)

Or, can I sand and do the same with lighter glass? I know the exposed chip areas need fill.


In addition, there are areas where the gelcoat has lots of wee bumps, and will apply similar logic.

I am prepared to remove the gelcoat but wonder if it is necessay.

See Gelcoat II for the referenced pic; sorry, do not know what happened to upload.
