I won't be shooting the surveyor; he is good. He didn't look at all of the blisters but the ones he zeroed in on were paint. He also supports the yard's - and prevailing - view that occasional blisters are nothing to be alarmed about. The hull on this vessel is very structurally sound anyway.
The osmosis bogeyman of 15 - 20 years ago has largely died away. For sure, one must pay attention to hull blisters, but they are generally not a structural issue.
