Can you use the albative over the hard? The bottom of my boat is a disaster... The origional marina which I don't use any more due to the various damage they did to my boat. (Didn't use any sealant on the transome mounted transducer when screwing it in, put bottom paint on a new boat without even cleaning the bottom, I can chip parts off with a paint scraper, charging me for a spring service, towing the boat to the mooring and leaving it there when they never even checked the steering fluid...)

The bottom has over 10 coats in spots and none in others. I think it must be slowing the boat down. My problem is that I have to do the job under a trailer and it can be pretty miserable. Anyone have any suggestions to make this job easier?

Yes you can use ablative over hard (but not the other way around because the ablative sluffs off over time).

However it sounds like you are in the same boat I am, you really need to get down to gel coat and begin anew if you want it to look decent. I feel your pain! I may go with that new Pettit bio bottom paint remover. It got a good review and try that. It is cheaper then 1500 bucks for a soda blast but probably more deadly
