Question gelcoat q...

Sorry, I'm not a boat owner, so I have a dumb boat question.

Helped out a friend today get his 23 foot Boston Whaler ready for the water.

He applied a mild abrasive cleaner to the gelcoat inside the boat on the hull (used a buffing device), after which we put a few coats of wax to the treated areas.

How thick is the gelcoat on these boats, and, assuming you do this at the start of every season, how long before you wear through the gelcoat and get down to the fiberglass?
