How much gel coat will I need from Spectrum to cover the inside and white outside of 68 sakonnet?

spectrum estimates 1 quart will cover at 8mils. about 20 sq feet. any ideas/experience?

Also Where do I go to get replacement sakonnet console replacement glass...can I get it locally at a glass maker or is there something special about this glass?

thanks, john

Replaced the glass on my Eastport about a year ago. It needs to be auto safety glass. Your local glass store should be able to do this easily. The BIG issue is seeing that it is cut correctly. If you have the old glass take that to them as a template.
