Get a jug of muriatic acid at your local hardware store, along with some good rubber gloves and a face mask. Spray the bottom of the boat with the acid and aggitate it with a soft scrub brush on a broom stick. This stuff is highly toxic and hurts if you get it on your skin. DO NOT breathe it in! Also do not wear decent clothes while doing this, as it will ruin them. Very nasty stuff, yet extremely effective. I use it every summer on gel-coat bottoms. DO NOT use on painted bottoms.
