2. Remove old bottom paint via sanding, paint remover/scraping using Interstrip 299E (for fiberglass)
or hire the yard to sandblast away the paint build up. It takes a pro to remove the paint and not chew up the gelcoat, but when such talent is available it's usually well worth the expense.
My boat has bottom paint. It is trailered now and doesnt need it anymore. Im looking to clean it up as well as gain a few MPH. I took it to the local fiberglass shop and they wanted 2200 dollars to remove it. A bit more than i want to pay. I took a rag and some toululene and it comes off, but very slowly.
Anyone have an experience with this? Any tips and pointers would be apreciated.
