I used 47,000 staples for an 11 foot boat. I know because I used nine
and a half packets of 5,000 staples. Removing them takes a while, even
after using little veneer pads to staple through. And then you have to
fill all the little holes with mahogany filler, varnishing doesn't fill
them.

I read that it helps to staple over string so the string can be used to
pull up the staples.
