I was thinking about doing the bottom in gel coat instead of bottom paint. Any recommendations for gel coat? I'm thinking of rolling it on instead of spraying. I'm not looking for a ultra smooth finish, I just dont want to have to buy and paint it every year or so.

If you’re going to use gelcoat on the bottom, and you have a compressor, I have two suggestions. First, and foremost, mix unwaxed gelcoat 50/50 with Dura Tech clear gloss additive. Second, thin it with 20% acetone and spray it. I did the bottom of my 25 that way and it looks pretty good. I tried rolling it and the results were disappointing. This is a sprayed finish with no sanding or buffing afterward:
