'85 Predictor floor coming out!

[85Predictor]

More price checks!!
Can anyone give me a ballpark figure on how many gallons of resin (Polyester right?) will be needed to put this floor back in?

Home Depot is about $31.00/gallon
West Marine is $24.00/gallon (Boater's Resin on sale)

I plan to coat all surfaces(new ply) before installation

Thanks!!

I think the floor in my TRV is roughly the same size. I planned on about four gallons. So far, I have used two gallons and have just opened my third. All that I have left is to put a final coat on the top side and then put down a layer of glass. I did buy Styrene to thin the resin that I coated the floor and stringers with before glueing them into the boat. If it helps check out US composites(http://www.shopmaninc.com/index.htmlhttp://www.shopmanic.com) and www.fibreglast.com They are two good reasonably priced places.

Also, the same resin sold at Home Depot is 2 to 3 dollars cheaper at Meijer and Wal-mart.
