Gel Coat Removal Tool

[Seadog]

Anybody know the name of that tool that strips off gel coat?

I saw it on Ship Shape TV once, worked kind of like a portable hand held thickness planer.
 
It had a depth adjustment to vary the depth of cut and made about a 3" - 4" wide path down the side of the hull with each pass.

That'll be tons easier than sanding off the gel coat around the sides and bottom of the hull to bond in the transom.

Anybody know where I can rent one?

Ship Shape TV's website is so useless.

I think this is what you are looking for:

That's the one!

Thanks Tailgunner!

Now if I can just find one for rent.

I did a quick search on rentals to no avail.

I like the proscraper for removing paint. Seems to sell for around $40. Might be the ticket since the wife just killed next year's boat budget.
