So that answers my question, I think. You had delamination in your hull, did any of these areas of the hull show elevated moisture during the survey? Did he sound the hull with a hammer, and if he did, what did he hear?

The surveyor thought the bad condition of the paint and gel was the issue. I wasn't going to pay for destructive testing as I wanted the boat and knew I would be doing a barrier coat job...just not major sections of delam.
Including the Interprotect I think it was only about a $1000 for the materials...I did it myself...grinder to final bottom coat.
Yes a PIA...3 years later and no blisters or paint failure...still rings sharp when tapped so I hope I'm good for another 30 years.
