Hi gang, I am looking at buying a 2005 150 155Hp, but it has some slight blistering on the bottom of the hull in the gel coat. Should this be of concern,how hard /pricey to repair? If anyone has some experience with this and can help out it would be appreciated. Thanks

Where was the boat stored, if it was left in the water for longer periods of time this could of caused it. If it wasn't left in the water then I would take it to your local dealer and have them inspect it. If no foul play is suspected then I imagine this is something you could get repaired under the 5 year hull warranty. Please report back when you have chance to find out. Good luck.

I am in Canada and this particular boat is in the U.S so I am looking at importing it. Would that have any effect on the warranty? How do they decide if it a factory flaw or cause it was in water to long? Is some blistering something to be worried about or is it just kind of cosmetic? thanks again for your help.

If boats are like motorcycles or cars, you lose all warranties when you import it.

If it were me I would like to see the blisters in person before I made my decision, it is just too hard to tell how bad it might be via a picture.
