: Just now saw the replies. I have to agree about the only thing you
: can do is try a heat gun (carefully) and see what happens. Who
: knows what you have on your boat.?? It could be anything but
: odds are it is preshrunk and there isn't much you can do. If so,
: paddle it and see what you think. Then if you like it well
: enough you may want to reskin it over the winter.

: I have one I hated the skin, finish, color, etc. Finally reskinned
: it and now I am happy with it.

thanking everyone for all your replies;
and a big hello from down under.
cheers , tippy
