It will pretty much be as if you don't have any bottom paint on your boat at all, since the hard epoxy paint has probably fully deactivated over the winter. Getting a bottom paint with an anti-slime additive, like Iragol, will help.

(Showing my lack of experience here!)

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
