I hate blisters
I leave my boat in the water all year and only haul my boat every two years and for a week and so far I don't have any blisters. I think it's not how long the boats are left in the water that determines if you have blisters. From what I have read I wouldn't fill and barrier coat the haul until it is dry. You have already done a lot of hard work that my be for nothing if you rush things. This is something that you may need to do some more research on before deciding. Buzz

If you got it for $28K that is a deal! I think they were asking $45K or $50K when I looked at her at Dare couple of years back. I took her out in the Bay and she ran good. I guess with the way gas prices are headed up they finally had to slash the price. The boat I really want is a 33 FBC II or a 35 II but I can't seem to find a nice one around here for a reasonable price.
