This got the hull to appx 70% clean.Then I hit every inch with 220grt sanding pads on the DA sander. This took it to appx 95% clean The rivet heads and welded seams got wire brushed.  I alternated between a 6" fine wheel on the angle grinder, a coarse cup on the AG, and a full fine cup in the drill.  Stubborn spots got a small shot of heat from the torch to soften the paint, and then some wheel.   This took me to 98% or better.  All said and done, I've got about 15hrs in stripping a 17' flat bottom.</blockquote>
