I tried to use the search engine for this
topic,I'm sure this has been discussed before,
still not working.Next week my son and I are
going to strip the haul of a 35ft Dickerson
sailboat and was wondering what product you
folks would use? I want to keep the elbow
grease to a minimum. A side note: Seeing how
where only going to work on the weekends, the
boat is 200 miles away, should I cover the
boat from week to week?

Dag Nabbit but I think all the good stuff is illegal to use unless you've got a way to collect all the drek and get it to your local haz mat site.

Anything with methelyne chloride is the cat's pj's but suit up in tyvec including your noggin. Latex your hands and arms up to the elbow. Wear shoes you can throw out. Slather some barrier cream on your face. Use goggles not safety glasses. Wear an organic vapor respirator. Enjoy yourself.

Take a look at the thread "Bottom Paint Removal" last dated 5/18/05

Probably a couple of easier and legal-er alternatives to the advice I gave above.
