I’m sorry I did kind of forget that because I have been wrapped up in the finishing details but here is a list of everything I bought and the amounts. The only things I had left was about 5 yards of CSM, maybe a ¼ of the chopped strand, the 4oz bottle of MEKP, and a bunch of styrene and the surfacing wax because you don’t use much. The only reason I bought the styrene was to try and thin the gel coat and ended up not doing it after the first coat because it laid down just fine for me out the bottle. I would for sure order more MEKP than they send you with the resin, they give you just enough and found myself needing more. The quart of gel coat was bought to fill spider cracks, the 2 gallons was for the inside and had just enough could have used maybe another quart. Foam was right on the money and had very little left over. The rollers, trays, brushes and quart cups I found were the best prices I could find anywhere.
I only went through 1 gallon of acetone. Be smart and buy an empty metal quart paint can with a lid, fill it ¾ full of acetone and set your tools in for like 5 mins when done and everything will just fall off. Put the lid on and save it till next time. Wipe clean with some paper towel and this will save you a ton on acetone.
I could have gotten away with 4 sheets of plywood if I did not leave the gas tank area exposed. This created some awkward cuts that made we have to buy another sheet.
Anyone reading this thinking about doing a project like this and you add up the dollars associated with this list (didn’t list prices as they change so much) it doesn’t look so bad, what added up to me and sent me above and beyond my budget was all the little stuff that added up to be more than expected over the course of the project. Of course some of the stuff I did just because I had everything apart. For example I have probably $300 in rebuilding the gimbal housing, the interior cost me quite a bit even doing it myself, stainless screws add up quickly, I did the vinyl wrap on the outside which was another $120. I am not at all saying it was not worth it, in fact I am very happy with my total investment because I have shopped around and for what I have in what I paid for the boat and all the expenses I could not buy as nice of a boat any newer.
