Yes, sorry, I should have stated fresh water. Does that change your details
at all (Jim)?

No, fresh water is easier since you don't need bottom paint and there
are fewer concerns with corrosion.

I have to disagree, even though you won't have barnacles in fresh water,
you still need a bottom paint or your boat will look like a putting
green that needs to be moved if you don't have bottom paint. A good
epoxy barrier coat will save you from blisters. In some fresh water
areas they do have problems with Zebra Oysters, which bottom paint will
minimize any problems. You will still need to flush the engine and
outdrive on a regular basis.
