Message: <blockquote data-quote="BYOB Fishing" data-source="post: 167275" data-attributes="member: 1756">I was able to get the boat off the trailer and turned upside down to wash.  I used the muriatic acid and a scotch bright pad and got all of the brown deposits off.  I had originally planned to polish up the bottom.  When I started with the polish, I found the pitting on the bottom to be too bad, and the bottom just wouldn't come clean; the polish worked into the pits and left black spots all over.  Now, I think I'm just going to paint the whole thing black.  Not really what I wanted to do, but I don't know any other way.[ATTACH=full]17935[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]17936[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]17937[/ATTACH]I was able to get the decals off with stripper.  I went to NAPA and bought the aircraft stripper, but ran out after only doing the reg. numbers and about 5' of the stripe.  I was in Wal-Mart and found a can of Kwik Strip that was $4 cheaper, and in a bigger can.  I bought that, and found that it worked better than the other stuff, was cheaper, took off the adhesive, and I even have some left over.Matt</blockquote>
