I have a 1996 Catalina 250, hull number 173. Except for a few weeks at a time, the boat is stored out of the water. Last January I had a new bottom job using the most expensive Interlux anti-fouling paint. Thinking I was safe from blisters with new bottom

Wee, gee thanks guys for giving me one more thing to worry about. <img src=icon_smile_shock.gif border=0 align=middle> The one thing I didn't think I needed to worry about on such a new boat (one of the reasons for buying a newer boat) was blisters!
