September, especially after Labor Day weekend when the summer hordes are gone, is a great time to visit Orcas Island. Orcas is considered the most scenic of the San Juan Islands, located north of Seattle in the straits between Washington state and Vancouver Island, British Columbia.

Gel coat hull?  If its all the same to you I'd recommend a vinyl replacement.  Either way is fine, just takes longer to schedule the painter, whereas I can have the detailer install the vinyl name on the same day he removes the paint. 

If the name is painted on gelcoat with "Lettering Enamel" the removal process is straight forward.  I used Easy Off oven cleaner to loosen the lettering enamel.  A straight edged knife to shave off as much as possible.  Wetsand 400 with a flat sander, then 600 by hand to removed the toughest spots.  Finish with 3M superduty rubbing compound.
