Naphtha works well for most adhesives and doesn't attack most paints or
polyester resin (used in "fiberglass" boats). It is the main ingredient in
lighter fluid, or, if you want the economy size, Coleman fuel or whatever
Wal-Mart's name is. Acetone will dissolve polyester resin rather quickly and
is "overkill" for what you are doing

I need to take the registration #s and decals off my hull for painting. I
used to get those off by using a heat gun and pulling. Worked reasonably
well.

But, it leaves stickum. How do I get the stickum off with the least
outlay
of cash? Any cheap, readily available chemicals that are solvents for
adhesive remnants?
