Painting a boat bottom?
What's the ups and downs to painting the bottom of a boat with paint? Not bottom coat. Saw a boat with white paint on the bottom and didn't think that was a good idea over just sanding and buffing the gel coat.

My hull bottom was painted with white epoxy about 10 years ago. It is extremely difficult to tell the difference in color from the gel to the paint. The bottom is also easier to clean as the paint is not as porous as the gel.

I agree somewhat. It really depends on what paint is used. Some paints will blister easier than others.
My drive lowers were painted with Awlgrip and they have some blistering from being left in the water for 7-10 days.
