As always - amazing! Great to see an update. Thanks.
Re: DAYTRIPs Bertram 28 Strech
Did you add a step to the hull bottom that I missed? Maybe it's a screed that you use to fair the hull bottom, in the last boat pic?

Sprayed the bottom with interlux vc performance epoxy. Marked the water line with with a lazer. Currently wet sanding to 600. Want to spray with paint but the alexseal rep strong encouraged me not to as there is a chance for blistering and the vc should be less friction. Current boat has it and it has be just fine. The wet sanding sucks and the luster is......lack luster

Re: DAYTRIPs Bertram 28 Strech
So, do any of these come back and blister on you after all the work?
My little 69 Whaler was skinned with 6 oz and that damn thing blistered on me now...would you cut them all out? I have not topcoated; just primer.

Re: DAYTRIPs Bertram 28 Strech
I have not had that happen fortunately. I ground all gelcoat off then did two skins on this hull as well as the 28 and my 17 mako. No issues. Is it the glass or the paint system?
