Default Wanting to remove bottom paint, need advise

I did this last year on a boat. Be careful it's toxic.
I wet sanded it off with 3m cloth. Be sure to wear rubber protective
clothing. Keep it wet and don't breath any of it in by dry sanding it.
Worked pretty well for me, but a real messy job.

I have a 2001 Sea Ray 180 bow rider with the 135 MerCruser in it. We
had bottom paint put on it from a local shop because we kept it in the
water for a period of 6 months. We now keep in it at our house on the
trailer but would like to remove the antifouling paint (its starting
to look bad) and return it to the white fiberglass. Can anyone tell
us what we need to do and what products to use? Can we do this
ourselves?
Thanks in advance,
