: It sure is rewarding how fast you can put one of these boats together, isn't
: it? Yours looks good. What are you planning to skin it with?

Yes it been a fun build and I love the speed of construction. Been fascinated with SOF for a while now and all ready looking at which one to build next. I think I better find a market for these. :)

As for skin, I have not settled on anything yet. But I am leaning toward the 9 oz. nylon from SkinBoats.org. Proven product and I like the fact if is shrinkable if I mess up sewing the skin. But I am still looking and reading.
