I'm gonna try again tomorrow morning and then its gonna be time to look like a smurf with my palm sander.

I THINK...you may have had the same trouble as me...EPOXY paint...regular bottom paint apparently comes off w/stripper...but mine, and sounds like yours just LAUGHED at stripper...I think it's epoxy paint on there...sanded all mine off w/60 grit disc on a drill motor...then two coats of regular West Bottom Shield...
