Title: Blister Repair Services in Chesapeake Bay Area
Post by: Juan on February 12, 2013, 11:49:56 AM
Hi Guys,

Last spring I got an estimate for blister repairs in my boat in the order of 10-12K. Of course these are professional services. They said the boat has many blisters. The various readings are below.
I am trying to avoid spending that much money on the blisters. Unfortunately, I don't have the time to do the job myself. So I was wondering if any of you knows somebody around the Chesapeake Bay area that might be interested in the job without asking for so much money?

Thanks,

Juan

Readings:

Moisture: 30 (Gelcote), 30 (Mat)
Barcol: 15 (Gelcote), 25 (Mat)
Thickness: 31 (Gelcote), 89 (Mat)

Juan : Have you checked next door at Herrington North?  I believe that they can do a blister job at least tell you who can - that's nearby.

There's basic blister repair and then there's over the top, expensive blister repair.  most of the time, basic is all you need, but of course, we have no way of knowing if you really need the over the top repair.  The info you gave is Greek to me.

About 8 years ago, we hauled our boat and found quite a few small blisters, about 70 if I recall.  Our yard did basic repair for less than $1000.

Do you mind taking your boat about 60 miles?
