Thanks everyone for the info. Biblew, I called Capt. John and ordered a gallon of the soy strip. One gallon cost $125. Miami Soda Blasters wants $900 to strip my 18. I'll post my results in a week or so. .

I used oven cleaner several years ago very successfully. Used six (6) cans on a 24' boat.

No bad affect on the gelcoat. I sprayed on, let it work until it looked like the bottompaint was soft (a few minutes), then used a paint scraper to scrape off the paint. Most areas took two or three times to completely remove the paint. I washed the area with water and then soap and water when I was finished for the day. Laying on my back, in February, I only worked for about 2 hours at a time. It took me two weekends.

Hey John, is CapJohn you with the '97 wht ford pickup? I worked at West Marine in Seabrook, NH when you came in for the demo a few years back. I still can't believe your truck was 5 yrs. old with a 100K miles on it and it looked BRAND NEW!! Those Boat Brite products work!!

If there is some interest expressed, I'm sure this not-so-motley crew on this site just might take you up on the discount offer. They would certainly smart to do so!!!

Be well.- Biglew

PS- Thanks for the Icky Sticky. It took the house paint off my car where my daughter had traded paint with the garage door frame like nobody's business. Just wiped it on, gave a couple of minutes and then wiped it and the garage paint off leaving the car's paint looking like new.

I use the boat soap to wash my car and it gets it clean and even takes the road film off, 1-2-3.
