I think the original note said there had been Baltoplate and then something
else on top - and the something else was what was peeling. My impression is
not many other paints (or anything else) stick to Baltoplate, so it has to
be roughed up and/or stripped off, which means what is on top is the
problem.
Unfortunately, this top coat will have to be taken off or you will end up
just patching it every year.

Brian,
My boat originally had Baltoplate. I successfully put VC Offshore over
the
top of it for a number of years without any adhesion problems. The paints
are quite similar. Last year I had the boat soda blasted. I then did a
barrier coat and VC Offshore. The hull came out of the soda blasting very
smooth. No way could I have ever sanded it clean and left a smooth
surface.
The only thing I needed to do was fill a couple of blisters and start the
barrier coat. It's definitely the right way to go, if you plan on keeping
the boat for the long haul.

Subject: Stus-List Bottom Paint Question
The weather has finally broken here in lovely Baltimore and it's time to
paint the bottom. The staff at the boatyard told me that the previous
owner
had baltaplate paint and then painted over it with a different type of
paint. The paint is peeling in some areas and they suggest sanding down to
the gelcoat and starting fresh. To do this will be costly or very time and
labor intensive on my part. So my question is can I avoid the cost or
labor
using some other method I may not be aware of? I really hope there is a
viable alternative. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
