I found a guy in Naragansett that will soda blast for $40 a foot. His name is John Armstrong phone 401-378-7881. If you call it couldn't hurt if you tell him you know me. He'll be doing my boat sometime before the end of the month. I'll let you know how it goes.

Lately I have been using an ablative product. But I must say I would never trust it for another year, and I always sand or scuff things up to get some off. I can never believe when products say things like no sanding and good for 3 years etc. I like to put on a thin coat and go.

Hey Guys, new here but not new to boats 
If you really want to get it all off and not hurt the gelcoat, you can use somthing called Nutec, iis specifically designed for this task. I have used it for years ans you just brush it on,leave it sit, and come back with a putty knife and slide it right off. This is all we use now as it works so good. If yanyone needs any more info just let me know.

Got my full face 3M mask, porter cable random orbit, and an old shop vac in the basement. 
But half the reason they want an arm and a leg is the disposal of the bottom paint post sanding.
THAT is expensive. |

Get under there with a grinder and some 80grit won't take as long as you think I took at least six coats off in two hours right down to the epoxy barrier coat. Finish sand with some 150 and its ready to go!
