Question I have a Bayliner. The boat is white and blue. In the middle of these two colors there is a sticky white tape that goes all around the boat. It is coming off in places and looks horrible.
What is this white strip and how to I take it off. It is very hard to take the rest of the white strip off. Thank-you for your time.
Answer Linda,
The tape is a 3M type striping and may come off with a petroleum solvent like mineral spirits. Check the 3M web site for more specific information. You can replace it with tape again or you can stripe the boat with a nice urethane. If you go to www.boat-bottom-paint.com they have a nice white Teflon Urethane for $39.98 a quart.
