Do yourself a favor and paint the bottom with anti fouling bottom paint. I have a proline 26. I also paint the outdrive with same paint. When you haul out I fall, hit the bottom with a low pressure washer. The green algae and moss will come right off if you hit it before the green stuff dries. The paint is made specifically to protect your boat from mussels, mollusks etc. I keep outdrive down so outdrive stays lubricated all seaso.
