Post RE-skin?
Can you re-skin a boat or is it a total loss after 2 seasons cuz I beat the poopy out of mine in 25 hrs! I'm always in flooded timber and I've lost 4 mph since I bought it. And if I knock a hole in it can it be repaired.
I know you want it to flex and was thinking it may make it to rigid

You can do it but you are goin got notice a big differance in weight.

If you are lookignto just get it close to smooth fill in the gaps and add teflon/UHMW and roll with it.

If you want to look at mine let me know

The Breast Cancer site is having trouble getting enough people to click on it daily to meet their quota of donating at least one free mammogram a day to an underprivileged woman. Go here and click on the "donate a mammogram". This doesn't cost you a thing. Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate mammogram in exchange for advertising.

I think your best best would be to flip the hull over and buy a bunch of filler from fasco epoxies and float out the bottom of the hull the best you can, and then glue on a 1/8th or 1/4 teflon bottom. I think glueing it on would be the best option, because I dont know how that epoxy filler would hold up to all the screws would be need to fasten the teflon to the hull.
