Default Bottom paint

I have sanded my 1980 30 foot Trojan down to gel coat on the bottom.
I am trying to decide which route I should go for bottom protection.
I would like to two part epoxy seal the bottom to protect it from
blisters (I dont have blisters now) and then with some sort of bottom
paint. I have read about larger boats gaining 2 or 3 knots simply by
using a particular bottom paint. My boat is moored in fresh water 90
percent of the year and may only spend a week or two in the salt.
Idealy I would like to it bare gel coat but I am worried about
osmosis. Any input would be mauch appreciated. Thank you
