Mine is barrier coated and bottom paintedMy 420DA is painted, not a barrier coat.
If you're talking blisters it's a barrier coat and if you have slime/growth worries you'd be adding bottom paint over that. SeaRay doesn't put a barrier coat on their boats as far as I know. If blistering was a true worry you'd think they'd be covering themselves by applying it to start with. My 270SD and 280DA were slipped and never developed any blisters which I think is typical of their boats of the last 20-25 years.
Another thing is what you do with your boat. If you want to increase your chance of blisters start sliding it in on the beaches and bars. Nick it up a little and help the water intrusion, barrier coat won't prevent that.
