If it does have marine anti-fouling paint, I would bite the bullet now and strip it/blast it and apply epoxy paint.

Reason being, you can wash regular paint with soap & water after each trip & it'll look great. Bottom paint doesn't really wash & you're stuck repainting every couple years, buiding up paint

Skunk...THANKS for making that distinction...I'm new to the "bottom paint" issue and you've just identified for me that I need to use epoxy...
