Tom,

Good question. I do not know the exact original weight of the boat. However, I added 6 coats to the hull bottoms at 20 oz per coat and 4 coats to the hull caps at 10 oz per coat for a total of 160 oz of paint/primer. The gelcoat I removed through extensive sanding would have to be at least 1/2 that amount for a net weight gain of about 80 oz (5 lbs). This would be a high-side estimate. I suspect my gelcoat removal is actually higher than what I have stated.
