Lee, I agree with you, although I bought Ca Va in the water.  Her general 
condition was such that I didn't worry about the bottom.  Also, nothing near 
to lift it up to check.  I had to take off about1/8 " of old, red bottom 
paint next spring. Did it with a scraper to avoid breathing it.  I had some 
tiny bumps. 1/16- 1/8 ".  I sanded them and put on  4 coats of Interprotect 
2000. after sanding that, I've a pretty smooth bottom.  Put VC 17 on that, 
and perhaps thats why I seem to get more speed at 1500 rpm then some other 
people.  Also. I faired ALL through hull fittings, with, of all things, 
Plastic Wood.  I know. I said the same thing myself when I saw a real old 
timer doing it.  I've had it on for 10 years, and it is still sticking.  
Every little bit helps.  Yours for faster sailing.
