Steel boat knowledge

Recently purchased a 45ft steel (mini) yacht I guess, but anyway, there is rust built up in the hull/keel, but I can’t reach all of it I’ve pulled out as much as I can with what I got, the the question I have is has anyone ever tried doing a vinegar soak to eat all the rust, is this a good idea/bad idea? Unsure of what to do about the rust any suggestions could help
Thanks

Look into Ospho.
But there is much more to be said than that.
There are a number of good steel boat threads here. But you do need to read past the haters, those who condemned out of hand, and find people with experience.

Re: Steel boat knowledge

NCV88 you need a long needle gun to get rid of that rust scale. I wouldn't recommend using it while in the water in case you put a hole in the hull.
Cheers
