I had the jell coat peeled off the bottom then sanded smooth then I applied about 10 - 15 coats of vinyl ester resin enough to bring the hull back to full thickness then primed and bottom painted. That has lasted 10 years and no blisters hope this helps

phase 1 update
Thanks fredetzel for your advice. I had so many, that i wanted to make sure this didn't happen again. I spent a couple hours with a dremel opening the holes and removing cracked and fragile gel coat. I felt more like a dentist drilling out cavities . I'll most likely have to apply two filling due to some being pretty deep. Anyone have advice on the best filler. Going to let the hull dry out for at least a week. Heading to costa rica tomorrow for a little R&R . When i get back it's fill and barrier coat and move on to phase 2 Pilot house

phase 1
My pilot houes is going to be similar to the one i have on my 23 contender. I think we spoke a couple times at the ramp in chatham. I think you were running the never satisfied. If i'm correct you picked up the hell on reels and you did great job on your wheel house. My plan is to use the current console old and big, it's in great shape, and add to it. i've already built it but it's not on yet. On my condender i have sliding windows but on this wheel house i want all my windows to fold down or up. I'll fabricate those myself. Any word on the ramps in chatham will non residents still have some access. i' post picture of the wheel house next week
