Dolphinite makes a very good gel based bottom paint stripper. It is thicker than most strippers and adheres well to the hull. I used it on a 1969 Aquajunk center console that had about 10 layers of bottom paint on it (not to mention a huge crack in the hull). The key is to glob the stuff on (don't continue to brush it like paint), let is sit (at least a few hours) and then scrape it off. It really comes off very easy. Afterwards you'll have minimal sanding to do. Oh yeah, before I forget, be sure to lay down plastic or paper under the boat to catch the scrapings and when you are finished dispose of in an environmentally sensitive manner. You'll want to wear a face shield, gloves and probably a tyvex suit....the scrapings kinda fly around.

Good luck.
