One thing you need to consider when removing lettering from a gel coated boat is that the lettering will almost always be visible in the gel coat. You may believe the gel coat looks like there is no evidence of the old lettering after you've rubbed out and the polished the gel coat, the old lettering will most likely resurface. Some, awlgrip the transom after removing the letters to make sure there is no letter ghosting in the future.
