Great video! This is exactly what I want to do with our Albemarle 28 express. We put the boat on a trailer and the old bottom paint is pointless and a hell of an eye sore. Thanks for posting🤙

is there a limit to how many times you can coat it and scrape it, without damage to fiberglass?

Hi...I would like to get your advice on what would be the safest and best way to remove new antifouling on a new boat without damaging the gelcoat and the process needed after that to have the hull back to a shiny surface if antifouling is not going to be reapplied?

The paint stripper that I used seem to be pretty gentle to the hole. If you still had some residual paint that was not coming off, you could probably send it with 1000 or 2000 grit wet sandpaper in spots. The gelcoat would probably come back to a nice shine if you compounded it with a good quality product. I use a product called ChopTop from Shine Supply, and I apply it with a DA polisher from Harbor Freight and an orange foam polishing pad from Lake Country. The polishing compound cost as much as the machine and the pad. I think you’ll get really good results with that combination if you just take your time.

Pretty gentle to the hull, not the hole! I was using text to speech. Sorry…

Thank you for your reply and helpful advice 👍....would this stripper be more gentle on the gel coat more than soda blasting? ....@@RandomlyAwkward1

I honestly don’t know, but I would guess that the bottom paint had been applied several times over the years.

No, it’s too difficult to get to while the boat is on the trailer. The part I did was mostly for aesthetics. It’s not really a “high performance” boat so I don’t think it will matter too much.

I removed it for aesthetics because I’m keeping the boat on a trailer at my house so I don’t need to use anti fouling paint like the previous owner that kept it in the water all the time.

Ha ..good one!!! “Back to Nature” Aqua Strip. A gallon was about $50. I’m not normally a “environmentally friendly” guy, but this stuff worked great. I bought it at a local marine supply store but I’m sure Amazon, or even the manufacturer has it.
