1981 H27 Shoal Draft - How Much Bottom Paint?

[SailormanDan]

Does any one know how many gallons of bottom paint I should get for my 3'3" draft H27? Gotta paint it and thought it would be good to make sure I have it in hand before I start.

Thanks in advance for the help.

I have a 1984 27' and applied 2 coats of Vivid. It took just about 1 gallon.

Thanks for the quick reply, thaeni, that's a big help.

My 1980 shoal draft takes a gallon for two coats if i'm carefull - I use the hard epoxy stuff.

Most bottom paints will cover 400 sq ft/gal. A basic rule of thumb to figure out how many square feet you need to cover in one coat is: lwl x max beam x .85.
