Hi. We need to remove the old identification stickers from both sides of the bow and put on new ones. Any suggestions about the best and safest way to remove the old ones?
Best Way to Remove Hull ID Stickers

I agree with Mr Unix, on our boat I have just removed the one inch hull strip from bow to aft. My guys at my shop use the same thing on 100k cars and we trust nothing less. a cheap drill between 1100-1400 rpm, a little time and some good scratch removal wax...................................
Oh yea forgot, a couple bottles of Corona's after the job is done, not before
are mistakes will happen.....Trust me.

I use plastic razor blades on a hot day. Then Goof Off for the adhesive residue. Works great, won't harm the finish the way metal razor blades can.
A hair blow dryer (or whatever is called) and anything slightly sharp knive or even better a plastic ruler (or your nails) will do the trick.
This is how I removed all 10 years old stickers from my boat very easily (I have used a plastic ruler after burning my nails!).
Then clean with acetone.
PS: Don't use a heat gun if you are not careful.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. Some great ideas.
Sounds like I may need to find a power source!
