I'm planning the haul-out and bottom work now. How many gallons of bottom paint are you guys using on your tri-cabins? I'm not going to make a big deal out of this like taking the bottom down to the gelcoat, I just want to powerwash, sand , re-coat and drop back in.

It should use about 1.5 gallons. (2 gallons)
My good friend and I split 3 gallons between my 32 and his 36 with paint left over...

2 gallons, 2 coats, use the extra to hit the bow and sides a 3rd coat.
