Default Aluminum Sea Nymph, do you paint the bottom????

Hi all,
A friend of mine has a late 80s aluminum Sea Nymph. The bottom is not painted. He is thinking about painting the bottom for protection. He mainly uses it in fresh water, but maybe 2 or 3 times a year, he may take a trip to the gulf.
I say "don't paint, it ain't worth the trouble". What do ya'll think?
thanks alot
Greg
