It's impssible to give an exact "Quote" of everything you'll need but this list will get you "Started" and from there, after you've done some "Glassin" you should have a good idea of what you'll need to "Finish-UP"
This is my Guess-Ti-Mate for a typical 4 stringer 16' boat doing stringers, deck, and transom.
15 -20 Gallons 435 Polyester Resin
10 qts Cabosil
1 lbs 1/4" chopped strand fibers
(1 qt of Glass bubbles IF you need/want to make your own Fairing putty)
25 yds 1.5 oz CSM
15 yds 1708 Biaxial Cloth
2 dozen 1 qt plastic mixing buckets and stir sticks
1 - 1/2" x 5" Fiberglass "Bubble" roller
2 dozen Short nap 6" nylon roller covers and trays
2 dozen 3" Chip Brushes (cut ? the length of the bristles off)
My list, as stated, is just a Guess-Ti-Mate that's intended to get you close on your first order. You'll prolly end up ordering a few more items before you're done.
As Bill says foam is kinda tricky but you can get kinda close. Pretty simple. It's just a matter of calculating cubic ft. Here's how I do it. Measure the Length of your longest stringer and the Height of your Highest stringer. Then Measure the Width of your boat at it's widest point. Now Multiply all 3. Example. If the Length was 180 inches and the width was 84 inches and the height was 8" you would get a total of 120,960 cubic inches. To convert this to cubic ft you would divide that number by 1,728 and you would get 70 cubic ft. Now since your boat slants upward towards the bow and the port and starboard sides I allow for this by dividing the final cubic ft number by 3 and get a final number of 23.3 cubic ft. I round that up to 24 cubic ft and this usually works out to be a close approximation of what you'll need. It's not Perfect, but Close enuogh for me. You may want to try and be more precise. It's up to you.
Thank you all for the help n feedback. Two roads diverged in a wood and I took the path least recommended. I decided to cut instead of pop. I know many of you suggested popping the top but the thought of not getting it all back together caused me to lose sleep. I got the bow walkway cut and removed. Splashwell mostly cut will remove tomorrow. 5hrs logged today here are a few pics. I'm feeling overwhelmed by the amount of work this is going to take. I find myself secretly cruising Craigslist in hopes of finding a better boat! But I'm gonna stay the course. With y'all's support n expertise I'm sure ill be able to getrdun. As a famous singer once crooned, if you can't be with the boat you want captain love the boat you're with ;p
"When I bought this boat, I didn't realize at the time just how much of a rebuild it was going to be, but as I got into it more and more, it turned into a lot more work than I imagined. It was enjoyable, but some days I wondered "What was I thinking?". I didn't really have a clear vision of whether I just wanted something to get on the water, or wanted to do a more thorough update & resoration. It's a good idea to decide that before starting!"
i came across this statement in the completed projects section and realized that this has indeed been my problem. The side of me that loves excellence and doing a job right has been at war with the part of me that just wants to get back on the water and have fun. The old Indian proverb says that the eagle who chases two rabbits catches neither one. How true! I'm going to restore this boat. I'm going to accept that this summer is a wash. I'm going to do this right. Hope you join me for the journey and feel free to lend your expertise and encoragement whenever you can.
