Scotch, you DEFINITELY need to paint the bottom. You'll end up with a crust of barnacles and growth that will slow your boat down and take a weeks worth of sanding and scraping to remove (if you can get it all!). There are a bunch of different paints on the market. One of the more popular now is the multi-season ablatives. I used West Marine's CPP. Read the directions for applications and do a little research. For a new boat, you may need to prep with a solvent to remove any wax or residue. If you have a fishfinder/sounder, you should also get some transducer paint to keep it from fouling.
