If you're very lucky, the glassing was badly done, didn't adhere well and
can be peeled off. I'd probe around the edge of the patch with a chisel.
Failing that, it'll take violent measures. Find someone who does blister
jobs and has a gelcoat peeler. Maybe that'd do it. If not, i'd use a belt
sander.

My boat has a 3'x3' patch of heavy non woven matt fiberglass on the hull
from the gunnell to the waterline.
It was used to protect the hull as lobster traps were hauled into the
boat.
Its ugly.
The hull is balsa cored.
What is the best way to remove it?
