Everybody,
Thanks for the help. Paul, I like your thought of trying different materials over the years. What type of glue would you use for the clear vinyl?

I'm torn between the clear and a black polyester that Dave recommended. Hmmm...which first?

: Don't neglect considering the extra-heavyweight clear vinyl material from
: Wal-Mart. It is about $4. a running yard. It can be glued, stapled, or
: sewn. It looks stunning without needing paint.

: With a skin-covered boat the frame will outlast several skins. If you don't
: like what you used for the first skin, you can try something different a
: few years later.
