I bought a 95' blue water falcon (18' open bow) this year & it looks like the previous owner spray painted some spots on the gel coat. I don't see any damage so it looks like they were trying to cover up dock scratches. Anybody know how I c could safely remove it without damaging the gel coat.

Lacquer thinner or acetone shouldn't hurt gel-coat, but either one should remove most paints...again, test an out of the way spot first...

Try some of your wife's finger nail polish remover, it's not as harsh as straight acetone.
