I'd like to remove the old name from the hull of my '87 C-25 I just bought. Blue paint against white hull- anyone know of a good way to remove this completely? Any ideas would be appreciated!

you are absolutely sure it is paint?

If so you might be better off with a vinyl name that goes over the top. Removing paint can be tough - I'd be interested in finding out what other people would have to say...

I recently removed a lifetime of nasty from the hull of my 81'. I had ghosting from vinyl letters,pier tar and oxidization that I could not remove with chemicals, so I used 220 grit paper on a random orbit sander.
so far, I'm very pleased with the results.
