I have boats with both coverings and would choose the nylon/polyurethane. Might take a little longer to put on since you have to sew on the skin, but provides a much stronger skin. I replace my PVC skins after a couple years. My poly skin (Corey goup) is +5 years and still fine. Corey has boats +10 years with no problem. There is some yellowing of the skin though.

: The nylon/poly will be somewhat lighter and has a relatively short
: (3 to 5 year) life. The Coverene method will last longer I'd
: think but is very difficult to cover without wrinkles.
