Gelcoat blisters and rocker?

Trying to get the V20 blocked in the garage. I am seeing lots of pencil eraser sized bumps on the bottom. Some are dime sized. Are these gelcoat blisters? Some places the gelcoat bubble has busted off, and lets light through. That is how I discovered them.
Next, do V20s have a rocker in the bottom? Its either a rocker in the hull or a bowed up garage floor.
 
At what point does it go from a project to a nightmare. This thing is covered over every square foot with blisters. I really feel like I just got a kick in the nuts, its overwhelming almost.
 
Sorry to see that! Hopefully someone chimes in that it's not that big a deal. If you were planning on painting it anyway then it doesn't seem like a huge deal at all, but if you hoped to restore the gelcoat that really sucks for you.
:cry:
 
Thanks for the links. I will check the youtube link when I get on the computer tomorrow.
Some of the bubbles have split, some have completely busted off. This really worries me. There are so many. I am worried I may have to strip the gelcoat completely to get rid of them. If some are split and busted off how long until the rest do the same? I really would like to believe what the last article said, but obviously since my pox are busting and split its not the case.
 
Talking with Patriot Yacht Services, I might get off lucky. He is coming by this week to look at it and give me advice. No matter what, bottom is getting painted. I was under the impression all the bottom gelcoat would have to be removed. Will know later this week. Gotta get it flipped now. STINK!!! I need your help lol
