:-/ Finally got up the nerve to post.

I was wondering, since the topic of anti-foul came up, the guy who owned my boat before me put the anti-foul on. Is there a way to take it off???

My V20 is mostly on trailer being in and out of the same water all the time. Whne I wash off, the anti-foul just makes a mess of the un-coated surfaces, so I would just like to remove it.

parish check the search engine for this subject, been discussed a few times including with me.
the jist of it is this, you can remove it with chemical stuff of different manufactures with varied degrees of difficulty for all of them. but with all of them it is a ball bustin time consuming job and you need to wear eye and skin protection. it is the preferred way to do it if you wish to preserve the general gel coat shine and finish of your original hull.
the other alternatives are to have it soda sand dry ice blasted, obviously less or no work on your part but expensive at least in my area 600 - 1000 on our size boats. other drawback is afterwards you really need to paint the hull with one of the good clear or white barrier coat type paints as the gel coat does not have the same outer finish
you pays your money and you make your choices ;)

Thanks for the info.

Whchever method I try to remove the anti-foul, it will not matter that I take off the bottom coating, there are some big gouges I need to fix.

It is a sad story how I acquired the boat.
I have a trailer in Lewes Del.
Neighbor in park's wife has cancer.
Life changing event for him.
Sold me the boat because he knew I would be able to take care of the boat and use it like he did.
