My Baba 35 is an 82 and the hull in perfect condition. The Gel coat (green)
shows some micro pores, common to dark colors.

Its time for Awl Grip .

The fact is if you don't detect problems using reasonable means, its likely
you don't have them.

In my opinion a Baba is a good investment. Hull blisters should not kill
your deal if you love the boat.

However I am a hands on type and have repaired many boats with blisters.
These repairs are not an ancient Chinese secret

and should not be priced as such.

OK, these comments are beginning scare me. I have been lurking for a few
months. I have my eye on a Baba for purchase. I need to get a few ducks in
a row before I make an offer.

Are blister's isolated on a few Baba's or is it more prevalent?
