Don't do this. Water temp should be around 150-160. Boiling water will just make the skin gum up and make it difficult to clean. Your best bet is to use a big tub and heat your water to the above temp and just soak it in there until the hair and skin start to peel. Take it out of the water immediately. If you leave it to long it will also gum up.

Didnt know this. Thanks for correcting me.

We cover the pig with burlap sacks and pore hot almost boiling water on the sacks. Wait a few minutes and then scrape the hair off with a cane knife. That's how my dad did it and his dad before him. Kind of like a hot towel before shaving!
