I have just done the bottom on Eleanor. It was quite easy really. If you are interested, check out my blog for details.

Thanks Dave
From your question on my blog:
I guess we wont really know if its gelcoat or paint blisters if they dont burst. We use a metal scraper to get the growth off. Might have been a little more aggressive in some spots, which burst the blisters. If it were just paint blisters, then I would expect to see gelcoat under it, but no, we are seeing the hull. Unfortunately I dont have a picture of the burst blisters before painting over them.
