Default Planning my 1975 -20' Open restore

I picked up a 75 20' open fisherman last week. The boat is in running condition as is, so I will use it this summer and start the restore first day of winter 2015-2016. I am starting to budget and plan, and had a few questions. I have read numerous rebuilds and threads concerning the things that need to happen. My plan is to remove floor and transom, add bracket with full transom, raised floor, and coring the hull sides for three piece appearance.

My first question is, which resins/fiberglass are recommended. I figured West Systems would be first choice, but wanted to ask.

My second question is, does anyone have a ballpark quantity that's needed to do this type of restore for each material. I would like to gather all (most) of the materials before starting. Obvioulsy, there will be things to pick up along the way, but if I can start stacking some of this stuff now, it'll help once I get started next year!

Thanks to everyone in advance for all your help and advice. I am really looking forward to getting this thing torn down and rebuilt!!

Enjoy a few pics so far from pickup to initial cleaning.....
