[QUOTE="LaqueRatt, post: 515039, member: 32586"] If there is such a thing as a paint stripper that works worth a crap, I've not found it yet. I almost never use stripper after wasting a lot of time playing around with diff types. What works the best for me are those abrasive discs that go into an angle grinder. If you've been researching this I imagine you know what I mean. I think 3M makes them, but you can also get a similar item at Harbor Freight. They are about the size of a hamburger patty. They eat through 1 or 5 coats of paint as fast as you can move. I've done an entire car in a day. I got to say though I've not used them on aluminum, but wouldn't hesitate to try. My only reservation would be you might have to DA the whole boat with 80 grit if you scuff it up. I'll betcha a case of beer though I could do both in 1/10 the time it will take you using stripper.
