Hi folks,
I've just picked up my boat and already thinking about getting rid of the bottom paint. Since I'll be keeping it on the trailer, I think the appearance will be nicer without it. So, I've been looking through this forum and have found many good suggestions for paint remover and also realize that, based on the bottom condition, I may need to repaint with something like VC performance epoxy or perhaps even replace the gelcoat. Before I get to that part, I'll need to get the old paint off, will probably use a stripper and power washer. So, with the boat on a trailer, is this removal process feasible on my own. Will I need to rent or buy stands, or do people do one section, take the boat off the trailer and put it back on with slight repositioning to get at the parts that were under the bunks or what???
