Anyone have the formula for figuring how much bottom paint (and maybe Peel-Away stripper?) to purchase based on LOA, beam, draft, etc.??? Michael O' s/v m

Theoretical Formula Guidelines

Bottom LOA x Beam x .085 = Wetted Surface Area Topsides (LOA B) x 2Times Average Free Board = Area Decks (LOA x B x .075) = Area Note - Subtract coach roof, cockpit, etc where necessary. LOA = Length Overall LWL = Legnth Waterline B = Beam Free Board = Waterline to Deck level Regards Larry
