Does anyone have any personal experience with permanently solving a BLISTER problem on a Nonsuch built after 2000 (of which there are very few.) I would be pleased to speak with somebody with direct experience.
Does this problem appear more frequently on boats kept in the water year round in the Southeast? Is this a problem for boats in New England?

Steve: When I bought my 30 back in 2003, it had lots of blisters. The local yard peeled it and I treated it for blisters with the suggested epoxy coats and Interprotect barrier coats. I’ve never had a problem since and I live in the Southeast with the boat in the water all year round.
