My current boat (a 1973 and not a C&C) has been in the water in Florida for
more than 20 years, with only brief haulouts.
When I bought it three years ago, it had a few small blisters. The P.O. had
been seriously ill for a couple of years, and the boat had sat with an ugly
brew of oily bilge water during that time. I don't believe it had blisters
before that.
I did the usual with the blisters at haulout and kept the bilge mostly dry.
The blisters have not returned.

It's supposed to prevent delamination and blistering that may result
from osmosis (water gets into the fiberglass and the polyester
gradually comes apart over years).
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?

We put 7 coats of Interprotect 2000 E on our boat in 2006. And if my
boat was in the water most of the year, I would definitely have the
bottom barrier coated.

Hi List,
I'm probably going to have our bottom redone this spring, and I'm
debating doing a barrier coat.
Has anyone out there done one a while ago (~10 years ago maybe) and
have results to report? Is it holding up well?
Thanks,
Bill
