Any boatyards nearby? If so, find one that uses something called the Farrow System or similar for stripping antifouling and see if they can help... Otherwise try and get them sand blasted :-\

Managed too remove what I needed to not a super job but it will do for now. 
 Al, trouble with sandblastering alloys is it leaves a very fine pitting which you the have to use a lot of high filler primer.
