fishalot...

one thing you might check out is the thread on "artillary fungus". Do you store the boat around wood chips?

I don't think one could easily get blistering on the motorwell area since it is not normally submerged.

the artillary fungus actually shoots tiny dots of organic stain/solvent onto the light areas around it, leaving tiny pits in the gelcoat.

I agree with the above--it is very unlikely that what you are seeing are blisters. Blistering could occur in a well, if water sat in the well and didn't drain. There is a bit of a different dynamic--but with boats in freezing weather, you can also have some gelcoat damage, if there is small area of water intrusion, and then the freeze/thaw cycle expands these defects.
 
Yes, as Dr. Bob mentions... Are the defects in an area that could hold water for long periods?
