Something else you can consider is to hydroblast it. I did that to my 23', and it is quick and easy. But, I wouldn't recommend it unless you're gonna paint again because it left an "eggshell" type finish. But my boat was 30 years old and had buildup like you can imagine. I also used sand as a media, but have since heard of guys using soda which eventually dissolves away, and all you do is sweep up the paint chips. It's sooo easy, you just blast away - took 3-4 hours to do mine.
Just a thought.
