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.


I can't see them from here, but it doesn't sound very serious. If the
problem was very widespread, you might be looking at substantial work,
but boats don't seem to sink from blisteres, even if fairly severe.
They should be fixed, however. now would be a good time to grind them
open so they can dry all winter.




Once ground out and dried, and the rest of the bottom stripped and prepped,
fill the former blisters with thickened epoxy, then epoxy barrier-coat the
entire bottom. New bottom paint and Bob's your uncle.
