I recently purchased a 91 whaler. The hull is in excellent shape however there are multiple stickers on the back that appear almost baked on. Does anybody have some good suggestions on removing the stickers without damaging the gel coat?
Much appreciated.

I would use a heat gun and a plastic razor blade.

I use "100% pure silicone spray" (hrdw. store), plastic scraper, and a plastic Brillo pad or "Scotch-Brite" pad.

I used similar methods to those mentioned above and my decals came of easily. I had anticipated them being more difficult.

hair dryer works great too if you don't have a proper heat gun.
