I find that David Pasco has the most comprehensive knowledge of
blistering alongh with experimental data.

That may be true with blisters. He also gives a lot of "info" on diesel
engines & fiberglass laminates that is utter & complete malarkey, so I
tend to distrust what he says on other topics.

... Most other pundits on this
topic quote heresay. Pasco says that in 95% of the cases, the blisters
are of no structural concern.

I wouldn't argue with that statistic, but it still leaves at least 5% of
blisters as "of structural concern" ...which at the survey stage means
'don't buy this boat.'

Pascoe has little good to say about blister repairs

He has little good to say about anything.

... and from the way I
read, it seems that you are better off doing nothing unless something
indicates hull failure.

Like what, sinking?

I therefore stand by my statements about not worrying too much about
blisters unless you have real evidence of a problem.

Would you call soft-ball sized blisters "evidence of a problem"?
