In Response To: THANKS!!! (Rick Sylvia)

: and
: the explanation of a SOF resulted in a "have you lost your mind"
: comment from my wife and other daughter (and a laugh from my 13 year old).

go to www.klepper.com and let your daughter take a long look at the history and capabilities of "skin" covered boats. She may not chose to go that way, but at least she'll hae a bit more respect for these craft.

Oh, and take a look at the cool animated .gif at the Folbot site. www.folbot.com.

They may never get the respect they deserve, but hopefully skinned boats will at least not be laughed at!
