It look to my eye your hull had no bottom paint or it abatived off. To the
point it started growing things. Is thier any gel coat damage? Can not tell
what the white stuff damage? is or just something on the surface?  In the
end , if it damage, you might have to soad blast, flair, barrier and two
coats of mincon. Btw if you are in the mood Larson is 30 miles south for a
second option.

Btw if is just surface you still you still might want to clean it up as
above
