bottom paint removal

[catman115]

The existing paint is not bad. some peeling here and there. The boat sat out all of last season due to the birth of my twin boys. The paint is the copper based ablative from post marine. If I'm not mistaken don't the manufacturers recommend that freshly painted surfaces should not be exposed for more than 2 weeks ? I think the air compromises some of the chemical integrity. That being said, since my boat sat dry for the season I don't know if I have to strip since I'm changing colors. I'm probably making a mountain out of a mole here on this one.. gimmie a roller !!!!!
