The interior of the boat is just rough sprayed jell coated, almost like nonskid but it's a bit powdery. Would buffing and a good coat of wax stop this from happening?
Regardless of what else is going on, I don't think the fiberglass fibers should be detaching. Something has happened, IMO, to the integrity of the glass itself. I'm no expert but I'd have a shop check it out.
