Re: Hull blisters. Repair or leave alone?

The hull is solid, not cored. The inspector did see a couple of small blisters but remember, the boat was just hauled out of the water and blisters don't become apparent until the hull dries out a...

Re: Hull blisters. Repair or leave alone?

I think there's about 5 or 6 large blisters and maybe 15-20 smaller ones. I need to do a count next time I'm on the boat. The larger ones look like a sea shell, smooth to the touch on the inside,...

Ok thanks. I think I'm just going to put the boat back in the water for now and pull it out next fall and see if I can dry it out over the winter.

Re: Hull blisters. Repair or leave alone?

My boat has been out of the water for about a month. It's scheduled to be splashed again in June. Is a month long enough for the hull to dry out? The old paint is still on the hull.

Re: Hull blisters. Repair or leave alone?

The largest blisters are maybe 1/4" deep and there is nothing but smooth glass underneath. The yard owner took a look at my hull and said that "your boat isn't going to sink so no worries if you...

Hull blisters. Repair or leave alone?

I know I'm going to open up a can of worms here but I'd like some feedback. My boat has a number of hull blisters, ranging in size from 1/4" to 2". I'm on the fence at the moment about spending...
