Default Gel coat Blisters below water line, forward, near bow

Janet,
You will not really know if the blisters are behind the gel coat or within
the lamination until you open them up. Please examine them very closely to
deterime the ingress point of the water. Until these questions can be
answered, you really do not know the extent of the damage. For instance a
gelcoat blister is not an issue, but if the blister is actually in the
lamination, the damage can be very costly, even terminal.

For you experts:: if a boat has a few,, blisters in the gel below
water line, forward toward the bow ??

Is this a "run away fast" boat?

Or,, are the blisters a fix it item.
