For sure Joe, there will be much more variance boat to boat, and anyway it's
just one man's opinion. (Well, I suppose two, cuz I agreed). I. I won't
speak for the gentleman, but I remember the context, and the inference was not
that earlier boats somehow lacked 'quality' relative to later, only that as
manufacturers, c&c progressed . (One would hope so, and I'm now comforted he
did not suggest otherwise!)
To speak to the original post, Model-specific concerns are probably more
relevant, as (to your point) is the condition of the specific boat. Really,
they are all 'old'.
Has blistering been an issue specific to any C&c production periods? Windstar
(1985) has had half-dozen tiny ones pop up, but nothing major. (Again, To
your point - my first boat, 1972 vintage, had none, ever, though it had some
period-correct soggy deck coring - easily repaired in a boat with no hull liner)

I would disagree. C&C has been through enough changes that I would not say they
have a graph of quality heading only upwards*. It would not take long to find
older boat X better than newer boat Y. Besides for that, the boats are old
enough to have had very different lives.
* remember that as of 1970, blisters were a thing that had not yet happened
