I'm starting the restoration of my 13 1/2 ' Boston Whaler. Interior is completely stripped out and the outboard has been pulled. She has previously been painted inside and out with who knows what kind of paint. The interior is all checked/crazed so it needs to all be removed. So for the majority of the flat surfaces I'm going to use my air driven DA sander, a Makita electric palm sander and a Dremel multi tool with that triangular sanding attachment. So for those of you that have done similiar work what grit sandpaper should I start with. I want to get it done as quickly as possible but of course don't want to damage the glass/gelcoat. I'm guessing 40-50 grit but would like to hear what others have done. I'm guessing some of the checking/crazing is probably in the gelcoat also so it may be more than just paint removal. Any advice is appreciated.
