I would like the thoughts of others on this forum please.
I have an 85' Cavalier 28.
I only bought her early this year as my first sail boat from the last owner of 14 years and didn't bother with a survey as he supplied a 6 month old insurance survey which just mentioned minor blistering.
Turns out I should have got my own survey then as I subsequently sold the boat again a couple of months ago to buy something bigger and the buyers survey showed extensive blistering and the sale didn't proceed.
Apart from the blistering she is a nice boat; wheel steering with autopilot, electric windlass with cockpit controls, electric toilet with holding tank, 2014 rigging, excellent upholstery, Waeco fridge under seat etc etc.
We still want to get something bigger and my dilemma is do I sell now as she is and allow in the price or do I repair the blistering myself before selling?
The blistering is only shallow the surveyor said and he didn't find any signs of the acid smell which is apparently when it is deeper, but I estimate there will be a couple of hundred in total.
As I am honest I would mention it to any buyer whichever way it was sold but I am wondering if I do the repairs myself would a buyer be happy that it had been done right or would they prefer to do it themselves and do it as they would like?

Thanks
