Hey yall,
I picked up a Grady White a little over a month ago and I have redone my guts and floors with what I would call "relative ease". I now have the boat on the hoist and I am having the woabsolute worst time getting off the barnacles. The guy I bought it from kept it in the water with no bottom paint and then after he pulled it out he let it sit. I have removed as much of the barnacles as would come off and I have some on there that look like freaking oysters. They literally may be oysters. I have tried scraping, pressure washing, muriatic acid, and even ground some of these bohemeths with my grinder and 80 grit paper. What do I do? Should I just take the grinder to whole bottom and hope for the best or what? I can barely lift my arms over my head anymore. haha! Please help fellas! Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Oh, I also tried hat on/off stuff that I had lying around which works well on old crab boats that I have done, but I have never seen anything like this! HELP!!
