Polyurethanes are quite different from polyesters. Polyurethanes go on thin like other paints. Polyurethanes do not offer too much resistance to common commercial strippers. Polyesters ( the thick stuff your speed boat is made of) on the other hand are quite a challenge to remove. Perhaps an interchange of terms here?
