I sail a 1992 Beneteau 310. the boat stays in the water year round and is used year round as freezing is not a problem here in the Deep South. The boat is kept in a fresh water marina on the Tennessee-Tommbigbee Waterway.Three years ago I had the boat hauled for bottom painting which I have done regularly about every two years since new. The bottom had many blisters that seemed to have come up all at once. The yard did a complete bottom job keeping the boat out of the water for almost 8 months.I recently had the boat houled out aging for bottom painting and guess what. More blisters. Is tis going to be a regular thing every time I haul the boat? I thought once a bottom job was done it would take care of the blister problem. Any other Beneteau owners have similar problems?Beneteau blames the ph balance or lack of balance of the home waters for the problem and was quick to point out that the hull lasted a long time with no troubles. Subsequent blisters this soon was due to bad work by the yard. The yard says I got a lemon. Any thoughts?
