Made the decision to soda blast the bottom.
Have 3 small blisters to repair as well - will use West System & Collodial Silica and fiberglass cloth (if needed) - no stranded mat and no micro-balloons.
Closer inspection showed numerous chips and adhesion problems on the bottom paint.
Lots of places where it will sooner or later flake off.
Appears last time this was done it was a poorly prepared bottom.
So, in the grand scheme of things, it's just another one of those ....while we're in there we may as well......
Next up is barrier coat
