Skin-on-Frame: Saran wrap test goes bad *LINK* *Pic*

Took 'project coot' to the water yesterday all shrink wrapped. I was pleasantly surprised at the stability even the the happy bottom seat in place. Of course this is a wider boat than my last one too.

After a few minutes I finally decided to it was safe to paddle and wasn't going to flood. Matter of fact I wasn't seeing any water except what I drug in on my dry suit, then it happened. Things went bad and quickly. Ended up like a good captain and went down with my ship. It was a glorious sinking and a great adrenalin rush!

Salvage operations were completed shortly afterwords. ;)
