Much easier than I thought. The angle grinder with abrasive pad (specifically for paint removal) really did the trick. Took almost two hours to get most of one side down to bare metal at which point the pad was shot. I initially used a wire brush attachment with poor results. If you do this make sure to wear a VERY high quality mask (I can't emphasize this enough) and eye protection. Cover the ground thoroughly and check with the marina beforehand. A tyvek suit with hood wouldn't be a bad idea either.
