I recommend repainting with a very hard paint such as imron. ...

Good if you are looking for a pretty boat, but not fast. I don't feel that a two-part epoxy paint is suitable for a competitive RC boat IMHO.
If you are competitive, your boat isn't going to look so great anyway by mid season. Most competitive skippers will have wet sanded their hulls dozens of times by then and the boat will certainly have some battle scars. A two-part epoxy will not wet sand well, will be heavy, and will be very difficult to repair. With good 'ol spray cans the hulls are very easy to wet sand and repair, AND repaint when you need or want to. I have found that these paints are very durable and if applied correctly will not be susceptible to chips and scratches.
