What's the best way to remove the vinyl stripes / decals on a 25.5? Is there some kind of solvent that could be used to help soften them for removal?

Try and eraser

Try looking in the forum archives for something called an eraser. From what I have heard, it is a wheel of eraser material that you chuck in a drill. Supposed to work very well. Good luck, Clayton s/v Walkabout Hunter 26.5

Heat Gun

Use a heat gun - I have successfully used a heat gun to warm up the vinyl lettering and carefully using a single edged razor blade, lift the lettering off. Using any type of chemical to melt them off makes a big mess and you could end up staining your gel coat. Good luck.

Heat Gun

We recently replaced our stipes and used the heat gun. Worked extremely well, very easy. Just warm up the tape and start pulling.
