NO.
Bottom paint and barrior coat are required if you leave the boat in the
water all the time. Since you trailer the boat - it does not stay in the
water long enough for water absorbsion to blister the hull or algea to form
on the bottom.

Hello all, I bought a used boat back in april & have been trailering
it to the ramp. The bottom paint looks like it could be done over
again but was wondering since I trailer it & powerwash after using it
do I really need a bottom coat? Oh yeah, I take it out in Great South
Bay, LI, NY.

Thanks!
