Ain't it the pits--jel coat problems

I have a '74 Glastron I am working on. It developed little bubbles in the gel coat. If you took a knife you could pop them.

What is the best thing to do for this problem?

Jim

Also, what is a good paint for a boat?

Have you tried searching google? Doesnt seem like their are too many active posters in this section. I'm having an issue with my gel coat on my boats and pwc's but mine is mostly because they get beat off rocks and the dock.
Personally i'm not sure what's up with yours and i've never seen that. How old is the boat?
 
I'm not a gelcoat expert but it sounds like a blister and I'd be afraid to offer advice on how to fix it.

With regards to paint...I've been told Interlux Brightside is good paint for a boat which is what I plan on using when I paint mine. Imron is another paint that's also discussed but I don't think it's as boater friendly as to the aforementioned.

Hi John when you have finished all the glass work on your resto which is looking great. What will you use to cover the fiberglass.
Thanks Andy.
