Pete,

Two gallons should be more than enough.

I’ve always purchased two gallons and had nearly half to a third of a gallon 
left over. In non-racing application with a foam roller it has been sufficient. 
And this is on the full keel version.

Best,

Two gallons shoud be right for the 37. 
My 34R is 35.5 long and has a 30 ft waterline and uses about 80% of a gallon 
per coat.  75% in cooler weather.  90% in hot weather.

Pettit has a bottom paint calculator (here: Pettit | Quantity Calculator 
(pettitpaint.com)).

When you enter L=37 and beam=12 (I am guessing), they claim that you need 1.2 
gallon. But if you use the 450 sq ft/gallon, they claim you would be fine with 
0.8 gal.

Defender has its own: https://www.defender.com/html/bottom_paint_calc.html

Based on my own experience (I used 2 quarts on a 27 ft boat with 10 ft beam), 
the way they calculate is a bit tight. You might be able to make it under 1 gal 
for a single coat, but it will be tight. It might almost be a question how hot 
it is when you paint. A spare quart might be in order.

Fist time bottom painting my 37. I bought the paint but now thinking 2 gallons 
isn’t enough for two coats. Pettit Trinidad (hard) label says theoretical 
coverage is 450 ft²/gallon.

The 37 is 28’ at the waterline.

2 gallons more than enough or not enough?

I would say it should be plenty. The first coat will take more than the
second
