[QUOTE="Travm70, post: 436591, member: 22465"] Well I have to say this here... I was trying out an angle grinder and a paint remover wheel. Both recently purchased from Harbor Freight.... wanted to see how it would cut the paint off the transom. Well after maybe 3-4 mins of working the paint and what metal was already stripped of paint. The wheel flew apart and a piece of it smacked me on the arm. Large scraped area and major swelling to the forearm... it eventually went down after a couple hours of ice. Gotta say it could have been a lot worse! What ever paint they put on this thing does not want to come off easy. I'd been working on it when I could with Aircraft Stripper...its a slow process. But it gets the job done. Guess I'm back to the slow and steady... small patch at a time. I guess I'll get to test this boat out next Spring... [/QUOTE]
