Is this a "run away fast" boat?

Or,, are the blisters a fix it item.

Depends on how bad the blisters are, once they are opened up & closely
inspected.... and how much of a price discount the owner/seller is
giving.

Blisters vary tremendously in severity & cost. It's said that "no boat
ever sank from blisters" but I've seen golfball-sized blisters that
left very little believable structural integrity. I've also seen
blisters fixed by "professionals" in an incredibly shoddy manner, then
hidden under anti-fouling paint. It's not difficult but it's tedious
labor. The shops that really do it right offer a guarantee but they
also charge a lot.
