A boat brush is disclosed for cleaning the submerged portion of the hull. The brush has a high degree of structural strength, adequate clearance during operation as no part of the brush frame will make unwanted contact with the hull, and the brush contacts all of the hull with a two position locking brush head.
A paint removal device includes a post member having two ends, a lever member having two ends, a joint connecting an end of the post member to the lever member at a point therealong spaced from the ends of the lever member, and a scraper blade provided on the lever member at one end thereof. The joint permits pivoting of the second elongate member about at least two distinct axes. In using the scraper device for removing paint from a surface facing at least partially downwardly, a lower end of the post member is planted on a ground or floor surface below the painted surface. The user pivots the lever member at the joint to place the scraper blade in contact with the painted surface. Thereafter, the user pulls on the lever member to pivot the post member and the lever member about an axis passing through the lower end of the post member. While pulling on the lever member, the user maintains the scraper blade in forceful contact with the painted surface, to thereby scrape paint from the painted surface.
