I removed bottom paint from a trailerable 24 footer with wet or dry paper. Took a month of spare time miserable work to get several coats off and ready for paint again. I don't recommend this way unless it's off season and you have the time. The soda blasting sounds quick and easy. Typically the gel coat has been roughed up somewhat to get the paint to stick, thus MJ's note to use a barrier coat. If you run your boat quite a few miles per season it will probably pay off in MPG and MPH if you go back to slick bottom. I hate bottom paint when not necessary.
