I’m looking to create a 11” x 60” panel. I was thinking of making the panel out of a torsion box with 1/4” marine plywood.

I have a friend that purchased a fiberglass skiff. The previous owner had painted the inside. The paint is in pretty bad shape and has started flaking in spots.
Has any one was a sand blaster and in place of sand used pecan shells or other material. Is specialized equipment used? Is there a place in the Baltimore area where you can rent the equipment?
As an alternative, is there a shop that provides this service, and what would you expect to pay to remove the paint on a 17' skiff...
