Greg/Neal/Wilbur, your spewing left below for reference:

Are you suggesting that you have water in your bilge, from the rain?

We get a few drips from the packing glands, and NOTHING inside the boat from
green water or rain...

No blisters, either...

Skip and Lydia, who MAY get to your neighborhood in the continued shakedown;
looking forward to the beer...

I recall predicting the "Flying Pig" might go as much as
six months without new blisters rearing their ugly convexities
because you didn't do an adequate job drying out the bottom
preferring to believe some nonsense about a daily spraying with
fresh water doing the job adequately.

I can assure you that fresh water has nothing to do with blisters. My
boat sits in fresh water every day and still gets blisters.

Skippy believed the crap about in lieu of storing his blistered hull
in a low humidity environment for a couple or three years so as
to thoroughly dry out the laminate before coating it with a barrier
coat that spraying it via a garden hose with tap water every couple
of days for a month or so would somehow result in the laminate
being completely dried out. I told him it wasn't gonna work and the
idiot who advocated it was just that - an idiot.

You should sell your boat and buy one that doesn't get blisters.

It is the rare freshwater boat that gets blisters because osmosis
generally doesn't take place when there's a membrane (hull layup)
with fresh water on both sides of the membrane.

It is the sal****er boats that have lots of humidity in the laminate
and fresh water in the bilge from rain, etc. that get blisters.
