GL: Bottom Paint Stripping

[Tommy Terrific]

I striped (and actually peeled) the gelcoat from the bottom of my 21' Boston 
Whaler about a decade ago.  I used a 4000psi pressure cleaner that removed 
about 5,000 tiny (pea sized) blisters.  I then hung the boat in a cradle for 
about nine months to let it dry, then sanded and barrier coated, without 
reapplying gelcoat.  The boat is still fine today.
