Is there a real concern having a sandblaster remove bottom paint ? I certainly would not use it if there is. My plan would be to remove bottom paint and then epoxy seal…

I would opt for soda blasting, it is less damaging and will still clean it up good. Less risk for damage. Sand is too abrasive for a bote bottom... my 2cents
