Im on a limited budget so we just cover them with a duct cotton canvas. Its commonly found at the local fabric stores. We will finish it with a latex exterior paint. Its a cheap but effective way to go for me. That is the way we covered the Sea Flea and I was really impressed with the durability. We beat up that kayak pretty good and it held up nicely.

Thank you everyone for the comments... I have to admit I am a proud Mom!
Lilly finished skinning the kayak today... its a beauty! I am excited for her... she is so happy.

Warm Smiles,
Heather

: Interesting stitching. I don't recall seeing that on a SOF, yet.
: What fabric?
