AR15, Heat gun on low should do the trick. Acetone then to remove the glue if it does not come off with the decal. Not hard to tell when its getting too hot. Just work loose a corner and start peeling. Sometimes you get some large pieces going. I always feel good waxing just after the acetone and they always look good.
I have never had to use any type of scraper and would avoid that.
Good luck,
Greg

got all of the decals off. USed the heat gun and alot of manpower/beerpower. I was pretty loaded at the end of 8 hours of working on it which was nice My decaling guy is coming to put the boat name on this week.
Looks really good back in black........I left some of the decals just took off all of the green (I am not a 'green' guy). We ran the buffer over it and started to wetsand some of the areas where the old decal guy scored the paint. We are almost done now and it looks fantastic.
I also decided to leave the race numbers on the front....for now at least.
We did alot of work on the trasiler last week getting it 'Canada' legal and I am hopefully going to have plates on it this week. What a pain in the ass. NIce to have trailer mechanics right at my shop though and stockroom filled with parts and hardware for wiring.
We are doing a minor interior modification this coming weekend. I am opening up the back portion of the boat but I have to put in a support system behind the bolster because it needs to be supported according to Jo/Pepe. We have a full shop with every tool imaginable and my dad knows how to build most stuff so we drew up a plan thie past weekend and we are going to build som aluminum support beams.
I want to have the back open with some grab handles and no seats for this summer to have some room for more people and then over the winter I am going to have the inteior completely removed I think and put in a brand new one exactly the way I want it.
Hope to have it in the water by the first week of June.
