Default 68 scampi

Hello; I joined this forum because I just purchased a 68 scampi. It came full of leaves, dirt, and a 3 foot Brazilian pepper tree. Now that its cleaned out the fun begins. The deck was painted about 20 years ago and after sitting out in the Florida sun and rain for the last 10-13 years its burned bad. I'm thinking paint stripper. Does anyone have an opinion on a good brand to use?
Any advise would be greatly appreciate .
James in Fort Myers Florida.
