Craig, It's been a nice Saturday. The temperature has gone up to the low 40's and it's been raining all day, which is doing a job on our 20 " of snow.
Of course, now the streets are awash, and you may need a dinghy, but anything is better than 20" of snow. .......and now you come along and ruin this bliss by asking, how am I going to remove the anti-fouling that is above the line where it should be. Sheesh, Craig, ..... that's next month's problem. The problem after I've finished my taxes; after the snow is long gone, when I can reach the boat without putting on hip boots, ...........and you ask how will I remove the anit-fouling. Well, I'll probably start scraping with a sharp scraper to see if it chips off. If it doesn't, then I might revert to chemical means - if I can find a suitable remover. If I scrape, I scrape gently. If I leave marks, then my problem is repaint? Having done this before on my 29 footer, I have no qualms about redoing a hull - a 15 foot hull is a lot easier to do than a 29 foot hull. So, at this point I really can't say, until I start to work and see what works and what doesn't. Tune in tomorrow - same station; same time - for the next exciting episode of this drama.
