My opinion…
Are you familiar with “window clings?” These are the paper thick, translucent, plastic decorations that are put on windows for holidays, birthdays etc. You get them slightly wet and place them on the window and they stick to the glass.
I believe that a smooth bottom makes the hull adhere to the water in the same fashion that a window cling sticks to the glass. Also, if you have ever tried to attach a suction cup to a rough surface you know that it does not stick well, if at all. Hence the reason for roughing up the bottom of a boat.
There is a fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."
