Thanks for the reply Lee / Don.
It is a fiberglass boat. 25' Catalina. This boat was painted by the PO
years ago and the paint job is terrible. If I place masking tape on the
paint and wait a week or two, the paint comes off with the tape. So I
need to strip the topsides paint and re-do. I figured since I was
removing the topsides paint, might just as well strip the bottom and
start fresh. The bottom paint is thin anyway. The boat is on a trailer
in an un-heated shop. I have the ability to purchase 5 gals. for $150
and thought it might be worth it. I have plenty of time so no rush there.
