Its odd that none of the Morgan owners that I know have experienced those
problems though. We were all kinda' scratching our heads after reading the
review. I did look at the add for the boatyard with the note about Benetau's
warranty work. Is blistering that common on Benetau's that a yard would use
up precious advertising space to specifically advertise this service. Why
would someone build a boat these days that would blister so badly that
marinas would advertise for this when its known what causes blisters and how
to avoid certain techniques and materials when building a boat so as not to
get blisters. I saw a few Benetaus at the Columbus Day Regatta in Miami a
few weeks ago. Sharp lookin' boats, but that would scare me if I saw that as
a prospective buyer. Is it Donal that owns a Benetau? If so how many years
and is he having any problems? Why wouldn't Benetau recall these boats and
try to prevent the blistering with a barrier coat?

The reviewer mentioned
spongy decks, badly blistered hulls and failing hull/deck joints as very
common on the 41 Morgan OI series and OI series in general.

Don't worry, newer Beneteau's have the same problems and some people like
to
think that they're fine boats anyway.
