Mine is a 1987.  It was barrier coated by one of the previous owners (not the factory).  I've had no problems.  As for repairs I would leave that to the proffessionals.  Find a yard with lots of experience and a good reputation.

We have had our boat in the water since 1992 and have only experienced blisters on the rudder.  There has never been a blister on the hull.  JIM

We looked at 3- 1986 C34's before purchasing ours.  ALL THREE had blisters on the hull, including the one we purchsed.  Blisters are not the end of the world if they are small and non-structural
