Alright guy's, I'm about to go down this road - if it checks out.
It's got bottom paint that matches the hull sides (black), and the hullsides are supposedly orignal Gel - and as long as they are in good shape, I'd rather have repairs done, than re-do.
I'm sure the original bottom was white - and I want that back.
I don't want to damage the bottom, or the original Gel hullsides.
Looking for suggestions.

OK, the boat isn't at a dealer - private owner, seller.
It's not a Formula, it's a '76 Mag, in need of resto.
I'm not in a hurry, I just want to do it right, and do it easy - if you can combine those two in the same sentance.
It's probably going to take me 2 yrs. to complete the resto(due to funds), but this is something cheap to work on that I have the time for - even if it is miserable. I'm re-married, so after going through a divorce (and that marriage), I know what miserable is - removing bottom paint will be a piece of pie.
So, tell me what's the best way to do it???
What chemicals to use??

I'm just trying to figure out how to remove bottom paint.
The 2nd marriage is working out better than I could have asked for.
C'mon - you and DD have been together long enough, you might as well be marrried - it's not a bad thing.

The key words here are "might as well". If I get pissed off, I ain't losing all my chit again. Debbie's found her chit out in the front yard before. Not often, but she knows the possibility exists.
