Removing thick, ablative anti-fouling paint from a salvaged sailboat hull requires a high-pressure washer, though results vary significantly by hull section. Using a 4,000 psi pressure washer, the crew successfully stripped the starboard side, but found the port side paint significantly more stubborn.11:34 An attempt to apply environmentally friendly paint stripper using a Harbor Freight airless sprayer failed because the product consistency was too thick for the equipment.7:07 Manual application of the stripper also proved ineffective after a two-hour soak, despite manufacturer recommendations for longer dwell times.11:15 The project is complicated by structural damage around the keel, where delaminated fiberglass requires careful handling to prevent water intrusion into the hull.13:43 The crew ultimately completed slightly more than half of the bottom cleaning before running out of time and fuel for the rental equipment.16:50
