I helped my father strip the bottom of his 23 Sceptre 15 years ago. We used Strip-Eze. Like some of the others have mentioned using a gel-type remover, lay it on, let it sit, then scrape off. It's messy as all hell but you don't need brute force to get it done.
A note of caution - if doing this outdoors, don't let sunlight hit the paint stripper while on the boat. It'll melt the gelcoat. We learned that the hard way...luckily it was a very small area and it was addressed right away.
