Rust color comes from the water in your area. It can be removed with toilet bowl cleaner and not affect the gel coat finish on your boat. Apply a good boat wax after cleaning.
In my area, swfla, boats that are to remain in the water 24/7 are bottom painted. This procedure best applied by a professional and prevents barnacle build-up on the bottom.
West Marine Stores in your area, sell products to handle your discoloration..dave

It's not terrible at all. In fact, I imagine it's only oxidation from being in the water constantly through the season. There are products out there that can clean the hull. If it's fiberglass, a simple scouring pad will do the trick. Have fun!

If this an aluminium boat, no problem.
If this is a fibreglass boat...maybe. Like the others said, it's probably just a water stain.
If you are really worried about it, you can have a "survey" done on it.
Some boats can go punky, with a type of water rot. If this is the case, you would have to remove and replace the fibreglass sections that are rotten.
It can be costly.
