Last year we soda blasted the bottom of my boat, came out looking new. Applied MicronCSC by Interlux. It looks pretty good, am thinking of just touching it up. Our season is May-October.
Bottom Painting is it necessary each season?

You will be fine. I only do mine every 2 years and use the same paint. Put another coat around the sides and touch up the rest. The sides are important because light filters down and the most growth happens there.

I have done that too... It works ok up north when our seasons aren't too long.... I would paint my trim tabs with paint made for metal, and paint your water line...

I'm in fresh water & do touch-ups on mine every other year.

I would check the label on the Interlux can. Some paints have to be done every year because the active ingredient becomes inactive when out of the water for a period of time.

Micron CSC is multi-season paint. Just touch up the front and the waterline and call it a day.
Did you barrier coat after sodablasting?

Been using micron extra for about 4-5 years now with great results. I am getting many years with touch-ups in between. Expensive, but I won't change.
