: The question is, what skirts do people
: making skin-on-frame boats find that works for them, both off the shelf or
: custom made? Thanks for any help you can provide!

Mark - I was going to build my a la Reg Lake's instructions, but clearly didn't pay enough attention during his workshop. My first attempt was the ugliest thing I've ever made. I ended up buying a WildWasser brand skirt that my local dealer had ordered for someone else. Works great.

Then - because I couldn't stand the idea of not being able to make one myself I went back at it and made a neoprene cockpit cover for my SOF using a technique similar to Reg's process. It turned out great. (Both neoprene & glue from JR Sweet.) So -- there's two options.
