So i raised my 2014 Cougar FTD up off the trailer bunks today, i am very happy to report that it has NO HULL BLISTERS..i will be checking from time to time and i sure hope it stays blister free, the people that know tell me that it will not get them. I used to own a T boat and it had them where it sat on the bunks, this is my first cat and can honestly say that this is the best boat i have ever owned..i am part of the cat family for life.
