I have a 1973 MKI . great boat. Solid hull. Last year when i bought it. I sanded adout 4 layers of old bottom paint, found about 4 pin sized blisters, had the rest of the paint removed by soda blasting. That reveled a few thousand pin sized blisters. Some epoxy, lots of sanding. Followed by barrier and bottom paint and it is good to go. I also have some softened deck next to the mast, stanchon spider cracks and a port chainplate that is leaking, which will need addressing. They are a great boat, very fun.

Here’s what I found: - Moisture along the top of the raised dorade boxes - heard something about this area being a high stress area next to the mast - Stanchion flex on one port-side spider cracking at the deck - Owner states “one dime-size blister” is this a red herring? Thinking where there’s one blister there’s more. One of the subjects were: any more than 6 blisters and the owner pays for the haul out. Have had two bad experiences before on previous boats I surveyed wanted to be covered. - Any idea what the consistency of the hull is on this vintage? I.E. balsa cored at the waterline Appreciate any thoughts or insights.
