Bad advice indeed! 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!
