I picked up a 1989 Montauk this past fall. It has blue antifoulibg paint on it which is chipping off in places revealing a dark(black?) paint, under that is the gel coat. The boat was previously used in salt water, but I will be primarily using it in fresh water and it will be trailered when not in use. What is the easiest way to remove the antifoulibg paint(seems to chip off easily), and what is the dark paint I am seeing under it? Is that some sort of primer? I do not plan on using antifouling paint going forward as it will not be used in salt water nor stored in water.
