I can relate to your project..I'm in Yorktown but originally from VB and I've been restoring a 71' 20sf when weather permits...almost at the painting stage...as too the bottom paint...mine had about 3-5 layers of old bottom paint and I have found that the 15min gel style stripper from walmart works like a dream on bottom paint...just be careful not to gouge the existing paint by overly aggressive scraping....you will likely see me on the water in late April or early May...
