Skin-on-Frame: Best Skin - Best price?

Hi all,
I am building my second kayak but first SOF (Mr. Yost Sea Ranger). I'm building it as a wood frame and I am about ready to skin it. I'd like to get a tight fitting skin w/o sewing so I'm thinking PVC with glue seams. Does anyone know the best place to buy this stuff? I live in Atlanta, but will buy from any where if needed.
Also are there any alternatives? Are there materials that can be "heat shrunk" to fit? I see Bill Hamm's Dacron, but I want to keep it light....But I'm opened to suggestions. Thanks in advance for the help.
Tim
