I have never heard of any restrictions on bottom painted boats being required to be stripped before fresh water use. There are plenty of bottom painted boats in the lake. A lot of the marinas have electrolysis issues.
Soda blasting is not very expensive and makes quick work of it. It's not like the old days...
I either get my stuff online (a lot of places have free shipping deals) or West Marine in Portsmouth. I am a Port Supply member so I get a commercial discount through them, which works out well.
