Re: Can someone tell me my options for these bubbles?
Hey bud I would do like everyone says and check for some water ...My boat had a solid floor and all but the problem was the manufacturers in the 90's for sure use to put holes in the floor to put the pour in foam in. I found 34 of them in my boat under the carpet not sealed. They probably kept the water out for the first few years but after that the water from rain etc gradually worked its way into the foam. So don't let a solid deck fool you...carpet can hide alot of manufacturing procedures. But myself the biggest problem I find it is not the manufacturer it is the people producing the products the manufacturers use and telling the manufacturers it does this and does that etc... I guess more like a prescription alot of the times you don't find out the side affects unless you ask and then they only have to show a certain percentage and above .:facepalm:
There are times when a product doesn’t live up to how it’s hyped, but the more frequent issue is products not being used correctly. People frequently find new and creative was to use lower cost products in place of products that are designed for the specific job, and then find a way to do it quicker using many shortcuts. This results in something holding up for a while, but it fails a few years down the road. Even these low cost products would hold up longer if they were used correctly though. The example you gave about holes in the plywood floor to inject foam, this is common and wrong, so are poorly covered stringers, unsealed limber holes, unsealed transom screws, etc, these are all so common this forum stays busy with people asking about how to repair the damage.
You don’t often see the products fail (glass, resin, gel coat, glue, wood and other things) without the help of a person doing a poor job. The poor job can be in product selection, design, workmanship, shop conditions, neglect, poor training, etc.
