I have a few blisters in my hull and need to have them repaired over the winter. I have been told a couple of different things so I'm coming here to hopefully get some good advice.
Firstly, I was told by the marine surveyor that I had some blisters and they needed to be ground down, filled in and have interprotect etc. re-applied over the winter.
Then during this past summer in talking to many boating experts (dock talkers) I have been told the best way is to sandblast the whole hull down to the gelcoat and let it dry over the winter and then have interprotect etc applied.
My wonder is thus, to do just the blisters costs around $2-$3,000..to do the complete hull has been quoted up to $8,000.
Any experts and I mean real experts, know anything about this?
Thanks
