I am not making much progress. I’ve tried chemical strippers and it kind of works, but is VERY slow and doesn’t get it all. I’ve tried a wire wheel grinder and it is slower and sanding has been about the same. I’m at a loss, I’m looking into a commercial sandblaster to come and blast it but I am concerned with cost, and the fact that this boat is big, we were able to get it flipped inside our shop but that’s only because we used a chain hoist to hold up one end, and manhandle over onto some sawhorses. So I don’t think I have a way to flip it upside down outside where we would need to to do sandblasting. Does anyone have any ideas to help? Or know of anyone in the Rockport Texas area that does this professionally? Thanks</blockquote>
