Talk to somebody at your yard and see it the can tell what is on it.
A simple test you can do yourself is to rub it with a white cloth or your hand. If your hand or the cloth transfers paint with it its probably an ablative paint, if not its probably a hard epoxy paint. The hard epoxy type paint is noticeable how much thicker it appears on the bottom.
I believe interlux has a diagram on their site that shows which paints are compatible with each other when repainting.
Thanks for that info. I will try that. Based on what you wrote I am betting that the paint is a hard epoxy type and not ablative. My 270 has ablative and the red bottom wears off on my shirt, skin etc every time I touch it. Haven't seen that happen when I have touched the 400EC. I will check that out in the next few days.
Thanks again.
