If you mean "Bottom Paint" as in the poisonous stuff they put on big boats that stay in the water all the time to keep barnacles from growing on them, it's not needed on beachcats because we generally don't leave them in the water full time.
If you mean you are painting after a repair to the bottom that could be different, but usually gelcoat is used to finish a repair to the very bottom of the hulls where they wear from being drug on the beach.
