Mine is a 1973. I haven't noticed anything horrible. I did have the keel joint re-fared. I don't know what has been done to it. I think I may have the bottom stripped this year. maybe not...if it ain't broke... There does seem to be a few through hulls not doing anything from electronics that don't work... But I guess that is another thread topic...LOL

It seems we have many reporters here who have applied barrier coat and have not suffered blistering after many years (thanks for the reports!) How about the converse? Has anyone left their boat in the water for a long time and still have a great bottom?
