I short hauled the boat last week for a power wash and general inspection. Everything in pretty good shape but making a list of things to do in the off season and will be re hauling and blocking for a week or two. The one issue that was not expected was to find about 18 small osmotic blisters mostly about 1" in diameter. Pretty typical for this era Sea Ray and our location.
Can these wait 5-6 months until I'm ready to haul for several other items, or is this an emergency do it now deal?
Then the question becomes spot treatment, vs a complete bottom job. Spot treatment is $800-$900, a complete strip, barrier coat, and repaint is $4500. Current bottom paint is adequate for the lake I'm in, and would likely go several more years at which time I would do a complete bottom job.
I'm currently leaning towards spot treatment, knowing i may have a few more blisters when I do a complete bottom job.
