You probably can't go wrong with the widely available products from
Interlux.

See:
http://www.yachtpaint.com

Their products for your application include multiple coats of
'Interprotect 2000E/2001E' which must be applied within 1 hour of
sandblasting (below waterline) and 'Epoxy Barrier-Kote 404/414' for
areas above waterline.

Interlux's formulae for determining 'wetted surface area' (in sq. ft)
is:

Bottom: (LOA) x (Beam) x (0.85)

Topsides: (LOA + Beam) x (2 times average free board area)

Now find the coverage area per gallon (from the web site) and you're
in!
