Easy way to remove carpet from aluminum deck?

[Capt dave 258]

I have a 1988, 24ft pontoon boat that has carpet glued onto the aluminum deck. It's getting worn and I would like to remove it. I've seen a video where someone was scraping it off, but it was very labor and time intense. Anybody have experience doing this and the best way to remove it? Thanks much

As rotted as the surface is the base is stubborn, perhaps a big wire wheel will make it easier. or you could do it like old time shingles and add another layer of carpet over the top.
