RE: Hauling to bottom paint - What else should I be doing

This statement was on the deficiency report of my survey when I bought the boat last May:
The belly of the hull is covered with dime to quarter size blisters, 90% are along the starboard belly of the hull. Note: These blisters do not appear to be structural.
Recommend: Having a competent person inspect and repair all blisters as needed at some point in time to prevent further possible damage from osmosis.

Anyone care to comment on the process necessary to repair this.
Thanks
I had a blistering problem.* My marina manager called in a few experts.* Some said to dry and patch the area, then paint, one quoted $6,000 to re-gelcoat the entire underwater surface.

I called the surveyor who surveyd the boat when I bought it two years previous.* He had noticed some blistering and noted it.* He suggested having the blisters filled and painted but taking photographs before and after, then checking at the next haulout to see if the problem is getting worse.

I did what he suggested.
