Painting over old Gel Coat

Considering purchasing an older 17 foot skiff. The boat is sound and has a fiberglass hull that is in good shape but it is green and very faded. I am getting the boat for shallow water and rock pile fishing so I am planning on banging it around a bit. But I can't own anything thing that does not look presentable so over the winter I would probably paint this boat. I don't have access to a spray booth and don't want to pay to have it sprayed since this is really a "Beater" so my question is, can I sand down what is on there now and use a paint that I can brush over the existing gel coat?
 
Interlux Brightside 1 part Polyurethane. Tons of colors and just roll it on and tip it with a brush. Will come out like a spray job

Ayuh,.... Consider doin' a roll, 'n tip job on it with plain ole Rustoeum industrial enamel,....

On a well sanded gelcoat surface, it holds up remarkably well, 'n looks Great, especially if ya add the hardener to it,....

At just over $20.bucks a gallon, it's super cheap as well,....
