Fred,
I would suggest a flap disc on an angle grinder. The coarseness of the flap disc
subject to test but Id try medium to start.
Before I fitted my windows, I used this method to remove existing gelcoat in
order
to get maximum depth rebate for the window. I approached the job thinking
it would take several hours but much to my surprise it was done in no time.
I found the flap disc easy to control.
Good luck mate
