You won't need more than a gallon to do either the mold or the part, but 
might need more than one gallon to do them both.  Be careful about buying 
vinylester that you don't plan to use.  Shelf life is very short.  I'd use 
epoxy for everything but fuel tanks, personally.  Epoxy is a lot more 
predictable and controllable (thanks to the more equal mix ratios), 
especially when laying up something that big that will take half the day.  I 
guess if you already have the stuff on hand, you're about to find out all 
about the qualities, but the problem is when you order a new batch, the 
curing properties will likely be different in the next batch, because it'll 
probably have been promoted a longer or shorter time ago than you batch you 
just used.
