Thanks for all the great responses, gives us something to consider. Yeah the best thing would be to be there where the boat is but this may be impossible for us at the moment.
I agree with "colemj"

When we first started researching boats some time ago we were drawn to certains boats including the FP's. After attending a
boat show and reading about FP's ongoing osmosis issues we said forget it, not worth the hassles as there are many other great boats out there.
Yes this happens to many boats but with the given
history FP has, one has to question. He also stated that because of this
history, FP would cover a full bottom
repair not just blisters here and there.

Maybe I should have been a bit clearer. The owner said on the last
haul out they found blisters. Somehow someone present said something that turned into FP doing a whole bottom job. So yes a few blisters but can you blame someone for jumping to conclusions that its on its way to having an osmosis issue if not taken care of, given their history?
