When you say bottom paint, are you referring to something like an
interprotect 2000 or a VC17? I have been leaving my boat in the water
for about 4 months continuous and do not have a bottom paint except
for VC17. There has not been one blister yet. I attribute this to the
fact that the Express was made using vinyl ester.
If it was me, I would sand smooth what you have and just use VC17.
When I have done this before, Lee Valley sells some really nice 5"
disks that are progressive and will almost buff the bottom of the
boat. This way, there is no wet sanding! Enjoy
