[Alberg30] barrier bottom protection

[Carl Clarkstone]

As an ex Cat 27 owner who had blisters I would say yes.
You are right, if you miss this oportunity you will kick yourself later, 
make sure you document the condition of the hull with pictures and write 
down what you found and what you did.
Its what I would want if  bought your boat in a few years.
Good luck.
Carl
