Even if you like the dirty, back breaking work of doing bottoms and other repairs, this boat is a bad candidate for repair. There are much better boats out there to put sweat equity into. New Bottom paint won’t stay on that That hull for very long. As soon as it goes back in the water, and the water ingress into the outer layers of laminate starts again, blisters will swell up, and chunks of the outer layer of the hill will fall off again.
Image 9596 shows zillions of small blisters. And the image 2317 shows gelcoat or fairing coming off in sheets, exposing glass fibers not saturated with resin. Unless those pictures are misleading in terms of the depth, that is the worst case of blisters I’ve ever seen in person and it rivals the very worst I’ve seen on the internet in 20 years.
Like I said, I’d like to see a knife blade or micrometer stuck into the edge of som blisters to get a sense of how deep the blisters are, how thick the layers are, and how many layers have peeled off. If the innermost layer that failed is more than 6-10 mils thick, it’s the gelcoat or fairing compound that’s falling off the boat.
(Typical hard antifouling paint is applied 3-4 mils thick per coat and drys to about 2 mils, when applied with a roller. If you put on a coat that’s thicker than that, it sags and creates “hangers” that take forever to,dry and look horrible. So people learn pretty quickly to not apply the paint thicker than 4 mil wet, which drys to 2 mils.)
It will take time and lots of money for materials to strip old paint off, and repaint the bottom. Reparing all those blisters is a waste of time and money. The hull will be covered in blisters again in a few months.
The crack between the keel and hull doesn’t faze me. It can be repaired, assuming the keel bolts are sound and pass inspection.
Again, this is an opinion based on pictures, not an in-person inspection. My only credentials are that I’ve done bottom jobs, barrier coats, hull repairs, gelocat repairs, laminate repairs, core replacement, and keel repairs myself, and spent 1000s of hours in boatyards observing repairs by professionals and being directly supervised by them.
