iso resin is one way to prevent blisters
many like epoxy coatings but some re-blister
fresh water [lake] is worse the salt esp warm fresh water
trailer dry stored is immune to blisters
not air bubbles and not just water in the blisters they are chemical action
and so return even after a gel coat peal and extended drying and the epoxy multi coatings SOMETIMES
there are hydro lift trailers that are far cheaper then a crane to rent
like 150 vs 1500
they use rams to lift the boat on pads
if he has a decent ramp

Still wont work on a boat that draws five feet.
