Materials Estimate?

I am having a little trouble figuring out the amount of materials I will need to complete my resto. It is an 18' deep V.

I am using coosa bluewater 26 composite for stringers(3/4" laminated to 1 1/2"), transom 1 1/2", and floor 1/2".
-4 stringers, 2@14' long and 2@8' long.
- total length of fillets incl transom is about 100'
- tabbing in the floor has about 45' of perimeter
- deck for gas tank in front

I think I will need:
- 165 feet of biax tape for stringers and tabbing the floor, and gas deck.
- 6 yds of 60" E type 4 or 6 oz cloth for the floor.
- 4 yds of 50" 12 oz double bias cloth or similar for inside of transom.
- 2 yds of 50" 12 oz double bias cloth for motor mounts(likely too much?)

I am going to use system 3 epoxy. Is 7.5 gallons of resin and hardener enough or should I get the 15 gallon unit?
How much thixotropic powder, microballons and milled fiber should I get?
Also how many rollers squeegees, brushes, mixing and measuring cups am I likely to use?

I know it is hard to tell but those that have been there before may help.
Attached is a pic of the boat.
