Southeast Florida location.   The highly experienced crew at BVI Painters performed a bottom peel and epoxy barrier coat in 2004 at Nanny Cay Marina, Tortola, BVI.  The bottom remains in excellent condition and blister free, as of our haul-out in summer of 2007, protected by this epoxy barrier. If you buy a used Beneteau, or any other production boat, there is a good chance that it will require some treatment for osmotic blistering.  If you doubt this, simply call at random on any boat with a little age on it, that is kept in the water, and ask if it currently has, or has ever had, any osmosis in it's history. The osmosis in this case was manifest as a light rash, which is the most desirable, particularly when compared with deep blisters. The osmotic penetration did not go through the matt layer under the gelcoat.  Pictures of the blistering taken - pre-peel - during the survey are available on request. Cost of a peel and epoxy on a vessel of this size runs 10 to 15 thousand dollars, which should be added onto the price of virtually any other used Beneteau you are considering.
