    Here's another pic from the port side.

    Are these colorless patches the gelcoat? If so, could the white be a primer for the red bottom paint? This is my first boat with bottom paint, so I'm a bit clueless here.

    Some light scrubbing with a brush gets the red off the boat (and all over me), but the white seems more persistent. Is the white the gelcoat? Am I seeing gelcoat chipping off here?

    I've also noticed blue in some spots, but I figured that was a prior-year's coat of bottom paint until someone mentioned in another thread that it may be gelcoat.
