I have just bought a 2007 246. It is generally in very good condition except for the bottom paint. The paint was obviously not applied properly and now it is just peeling off in places and much of it can be scraped off relatively easily, especially on the V-sections of the hull. Unfortunately, in other parts, particularly on the sides, the paint is much harder to remove. I was planning to sand this down though I guess if it is so hard to remove I shouldn't worry about getting all the way back to the gel coat.
What grade grit would you use for this? I have access to a rotary and an orbital sander. Not sure which is best to use. Obviously the rotary will be faster but a greater risk of damage to the gel coat.
My guess is I should use 120 grit to remove the remaining paint.
