Joe,
Whether in fresh or salt water, you need an anti-fouling coating. Some are  
better for trailer sailing than others. If I leave our speed boat in our 
fresh  water lake for a weekend, we end up with an algae stripe on it. We have 
an air  lift which I use daily because I really hate cleaning boat bottoms. 
My body  doesn't bend as easy as it once did.

Hi  Jim,
Your comments raise an interesting question.  I don't really  think I 
need an anti-fouling coating since the longest time we spend in  salt 
water (or fresh for that matter) is one week at a time.  But the  boat 
came with bottom paint and I asked Stan what he used and he replied  
Pettit Trinidad.
I would gladly use plain epoxy paint but it probably  means a big job of 
stripping down every last *&^% bit of the existing  bottom paint.
I did try emailing Pettit one time to ask them about their  newer 
"greener" coatings that might be appropriate for trailering but  never 
got a response.  Some companies are better at responding than  others.
Joe
