Default peel away

Could someone give me an idea of how much peel away it would take to remove the bottom paint from a SeaCraft23?

You are going to need probably ten gallons and LOTS of that paper that comes with it. I used that stuff on my 22' Hiliner and you MUST use the paper on top of it otherwise it just dries out on the surface and won't saturate the paint. If you have lots of layers, the best way is still abrasive removal. I would try to find a mobile soda blasting guy... Got a price of $600.00 for the hiliner and turned it down- after much peel away, three guys over an entire weekend, lots of beer and finally resorting to 6" orbital sanders I should have gone that route.

Used peel away to strip 20 years of paint from my 23 tsunami. 2 words- soda blasting.

Fifteen years ago I helped my father strip the bottom of his 23 Sceptre using Stripeze. A messy, painstaking job for sure and one I will never do again. Take the aforementioned advice and pay someone to do it for you. Check BigLew's "Soda Blasting?" thread...Entourage had it done for $700. Seems like money well spent especially considering you may not need to do it again for many years to come.
