Re: 23 Transom Replacement
I would guess about 5 gallons of polyester resin would be enough. It depends on how many paper weights you end up with.

Re: How much GelCoat??
Andrew,
What size boat and which style?
For a 20, I would guess 2-3 gallons for the hull (from the chine up and the whole transom). My 23 deck cap will take about 1.5 to 2 gallons. Yes, you...

I did this over a year ago and came up with 13.5
You can do this with a square and straight edge. See this example: transom angle (http://www.rocketflap.com/transom_calc.php)
