Author	Topic:   Bottom Paint
Buzzorouter	posted 01-23-2003 06:20 PM ET (US)         I recently bought a '74 Montauk. The bottom has been painted perhaps numerous times. Is it possible to remove the bottom paint? I will most likely be trailering the boat, but it will be used in salt water. It has blue color under the bottom paint. What might be the best action?
