You can remove dried barnacles from a fiberglass boat using a stainless steel scrubber or a pressure washer for large barnacles.
Depending on the material used for the Hull, there are Gel Gloss Paints used for Fiberglass and composite boats and very good Acrylic Enamels and Urethane for sealed wood.
Urethane primers are not not compatible with gelcoat, nor are epoxy primers. Gelcoat can only be applied to bare fibreglass, existing (well sanded) gelcoat or polyester/vinylester based fillers.
what is the fiberglass on? Use aircraft stripper with rubber gloves and well ventilated area. Follow the directions on the can or else you are going to have to sand it off use dust mask or better
Fiberglass is actually very flammable.
I would think a fiberglass boat is better than a wooden boat because a wooden one can rot and would be hevy to move weres the fiberglass boat wont rot and is light so would be easy to move.
A sponge and some fiberglass sealers works the best on a fiberglass boat. There are other fiberglass cleaning material available depending on what your particular need is. For just basic cleaning, I would go with the sponge and fiberglass sealer.
You can clean fecal stains from a fiberglass both by using hot water and dish washing liquid. Let the stained area soak in the soapy water for awhile before wiping it down.
A boat floats by keeping water outside, regardless of any material

Vietnam War PBR's were built of fiberglass; they worked fine. That's the boat in the film Apocalypse Now.
