If you're trying to remove it all, I would suggest getting it soda-blasted.
If you're just prepping for a new coat, I'd suggest using acetone and a scotchbrite pad.
I am prepping for new bottom paint. I currently have ablative paint on there now and will be adding more of the same by a different manufacturer (I dot know what’s on there, but I know it has copper in it). The sides are fine with a little scuffing up with something. Bottom is not flaking, but needs some love. They do not recommend acetone because it does it does not completely evaporate and residual chemical may effect the bonding of the new paint. I may try the scotch bright pad and water (doodlebug cleaning pad) The local janator supply company has a very course black pad that I think will work nicely without clogging up. The problem is that it’s 30 degrees here and don’t love the idea of laying on the ground with water dripping on me. Maybe need to down my scuba wetsuit.
