Yeah !
I did it from February to March in '04 ... not hot but lots of work &
it took half the boat for me to realize that the 24 grit stuff really
made the difference. I started with 80 then gradually worked my way
down. Arrrgh!
Anyway, once you are done you will have a beautiful hull! I know I am
STILL proud of the work I did!
Oh and your hands will probably vibrate for a week :>

CB,
I took your advice. That is definitely the 'manly' way to remove bottom paint.
After several hours of work,
a partially failed resperator (boy do I have a headache), and a slightly worse
for the wear Dewalt,
I've got about half the boat stripped. By the time I finished I could no longe
r breathe through the
resperator and probably sucked CO2 for most of last part.
I feel like shaving my head, scrubbing the rest of my body with a pummice stone
, and going to sleep.
My hands are still vibrating.
I'll be back at it again tomorrow with a new resperator and some more 'rocks on
paper'

I strongly advocate sanding! Use a RO sander with 24 grit
(floor sanding paper). It is practically rocks glued to paper ...
paint comes off really easily.
