I was down checking on the boat today where she is in storage. Crawled under to asses the bottom paint situation. She appears to have about 900 layers and I would like her to look like she left the factory. I really don't know where to start! Do I take it off with a wire wheel...stripper...what? What kind of epoxy/sealer should I use? We'd really like a "copper" color paint, is there one with no copper content? I need help, any info would be great. Oh and she's steel...all 37 feet...37 feet of paint that needs to come off! Additonally, we have to repair a few spots around the transom and decks...have some rust spots (just small)...please advise.
