Sunny days have allowed me to leave the boat parked outside, hoping the sun will warm and dry the old wood. I noticed yesterday there was still water in the floor tanks. Propped the bow much higher and watched a few liters pour out of the holes at the stern. I have not had to use anything other than a cabinet scraper on the old paint. I figure where the paint is too difficult to remove, especially around those strips of wood on the floor, I will leave the paint as it is obviously still doing its job. Sand the edges smooth and repaint.
