Any advise on how to clean the hull without damaging factory paint? Previous owners left the hull sitting in the water for a long time and it’s thoroughly stained.

Here’s my ‘01 Xpress 1546 DB. Going to upgrade my motor to a new 4 stroke soon. I’ve been running it with an old 25 HP 2 stroke that never has run well (seems like I can only get 50-75% power out of it).

Currently on the fence between a 20, 25, and 30. Boat is technically only rated for up to a 25 tiller. Typically it is just me, maybe a buddy, and some fishing gear. I also never really have a need to run more than 2 miles to a spot. Any recommendations or insight is much appreciated. Also would love opinions on jack plate vs no jack plate. I currently do not have one.
