I now have a hull... Woot! But lots of sanding in my future, which I am looking forward to. My stripping technique is not that great so my ROS is gonna be by best friend for a while . . . Ric A

If the hull is a bit bumpy I'm not sure the ROS is the best tool, it's not that good at fairing in my experience - it mostly just smooths the surface but leaves the terrain. I would be inclined to use a plane, low angle ideally, and a longboard. However, I don't have a lot of stripper experience, most of my boats have been plywood, so it would be good to get some other inputs on this.
