Hi Stephen,

We've discussed this before, SOF's can't be beach launched slid over the beach with you in it. No matter what it's covered with the abrasion will wear holes in the fabric.

Btw, the current boat, knowing the owner, has a doubled 3.2 ounce glass bottom from chine to chine, much tougher. Also takes too long to do in the class.

Best material for that is a poly boat.

I've told everyone in the classes, they are deep water boats, meant to be entered and exited while it's floating.
