I simply didn’t understand your point. Rich Knowles Nanaimo, BC Boatless!

My thoughts/statements were twofold, assess exactly what Danny meant by needing a bottom job and advise that if multiple layers of bottom paint is the only concern that he could probably get away with sand/feather/paint. It doesn't sound like he knows exactly what type of bottom is there right now but whatever it is it certainly seems to be working.

Once blistering occurs, the work to be done goes much further and gets exponentially more expensive than simply blasting and barrier coating. Danny, this is a new-to-you boat found after much searching and will likely be with you for quite a while. If you are going to do a topsides and bottom rework, I suggest it’s well worth doing it properly, even if you have to wait a year to get it done. Cosmetics can wait for money. I can tell you that my recent LF 38 was Awlgripped in 1992 and still, with a good annual spring cleanup and polish, the flag blue hull looks excellent. There were a few scrapes and dings over the years that I looked after by filling and touching up. A new paint job would be terrific, but would only make sense if money were not a consideration. All this to say that a good paint job is a great way to go. A new gel coat job would be very expensive if done properly. Rich Knowles Nanaimo, BC Boatless!
