No primer under bottom paint.

Ordinarily that would be true...but a primer IS needed if a barrier coat
is needed between incompatible paints.

You are correct of course. I forget that sometimes people work on
boats made out of materials other than wood.

Actually, if my memory of those long past days working in a shipyard
is correct, the order of bottom paint application on steel is primer,
barrier coat, bottom paint.
