removing bottom paint

Hey guys,

We have a boat with the bottom painted with International Ultra Hard
antifouling paint. It is in rough shape and needs to be removed and
recoated. The International rep says we need to remove it completely. Has
anyone had any luck with conventional paint strippers. I really do not want
to sand it all off.

Thanks in advance.

Tom
