I forgot one other question, how much paint do you think I will need when using the interlux vc performance 2 part epoxy to cover my 20' fantail ? it has a 6 foot beam at the center from the keel down it measures exactly 5 feet per side.

I have to order in the paint as thier is none in stock in my city.

thanks again,

jamie

Jamie,

On my boat I think I used two Quart Kits (a Kit is a Quart of base and a Quart of hardener) or 1 Gal. I don't remember if I did 3 or 4 coats.

Added: LOA 20'6 LWL: 19' Beam 6'9
