[QUOTE="LonLB, post: 175708, member: 4391"] I was stripping mine yesterday too... I'm using paint stripper, and a hand held wire brush with good results. As for the splash well.......With no splash well you will get water on your deck. Also, I would double check if you have to have at least some, for when the motor is tilted all the way up. It IS a structural part to the boat too. Keep that in mind. Now with all that said, I think it would be possible to remove it, or shrink it a BUNCH. You would have to build the framing for your deck in a way that it adds the structural support to your boat, that you lost when removing the splashwell. I'm going to keep mine in place, but lower it about 4" Then run a deck over some of it. Eventually I'll add some splash guards so any water splashing won't be a concern. [/QUOTE]
