Thanks.
Hmmm. I wasn't even aware of a yard north of the bridge road.
Riverside Marina
2350 Old Dixie Highway
Ft. Pierce FL 34946
Physically just over the line in Lucie, with a FTP mailing address.

Skip, urgently working to get out of this filthy, theft-ridden yard
PS the system is working. Wetting it has opened up new sources of WSM (as
a technical paper done for the USCG many years ago refers to water soluble
material) which have absorbed water, bringing it out to the surface where
it washes off readily. Grinding back until the laminations are secure in
each of those spots (confirmed by the absence of any more weep spots, even
after pressure washing) gives us a reasonable expectation that after a few
more cycles of that, and then doing a proper repair on the ground-out
spots, our pleasure should be enhanced the next time we're hauled, however
many years that is from now (our last bottom job lasted 4 years)...
. . . and new blisters still reared their ugly heads as they will again the
next time you haul out so you will spend every haulout doing repeated
blister repair. Not too bright, Skippy!!!
Get a clue and do it right. Dry the freaking hull out until a moisture meter
says it's dry and then coat it inside and out with a barrier coat. Or, what
you should REALLY do is unload that POS on some unsuspecting Rube and buy a
real ocean-going boat that is about twenty years old and has no blisters. If
it has gone that long without blisters chances are excellent it will never
get blisters.
Life is too short to abide junk, Skippy. If you were any kind of man you
wouldn't burden the woman you love with junk. You'd get her something
excellent as she deserves nothing less.

Check out the Bayfield 40 for example. She's a real beauty. Canadian-built
boats don't usually have blister problems. Why? Precisely because of the low
humidity situation when the hulls were laid up.
