I re gel coated the bottom and use sterling two part epoxy for the blue and all the interior of the boat. Works great and last a long time. I kind of like it this way because I also trailer my boat and splash it from 30 to 50 times a year and to repair gel coat is really easier “I think” compared to dealing with scratches on paint because of a 5,000 lbs boat being dragged onto a trailer even with the toughness of a two part epoxy paint. I also will keep my boat in water for approx 7 to 10 days at a time when I go down to the keys with no problems.
