Looking at a very low hour fiberglass hull boat with Interlux Micron applied 4 years ago.
I don't do any boating that requires bottom paint.
In fact, some places I trailer to prohibit TBT bottom paint (which this is not), which suggests that I could get flagged at an inspection station by a cranky clueless inspector.
Some people say that there is no way to remove without also planning on major gelcoat reconstruction.
Some say it will wipe right off with proper stripper.
This is a pretty new, expensive boat. I'd be paying a pro to do the work.
What should I expect here? What are my risks? What would you do?
Thanks.
