NO!!!!!!!

Look at my pics. Never been bottom painted, never been in a slip.. always trailered. Some people put it on for looks, but bottom paint is only needed when you keep you boat in the water at a slip. It leaches poisons that keeps barnacles and other nasties from sticking to your hull.. but if you keep your boat on a trailer it is not needed.

I agree. Definitely do not paint if the boat is not going to be on the water for extended periods of time. Not only does the virgin bottom look great, you will not have the maintenance task of repainting every few years.
