A guy could deck a drift boat this way, for instance

Pretty cool stuff!!

Most skin on frame builders use heat-shrink high tech poly-something-or-other over the frame and then paint with a flexible polyurethane paint.

Plastic wrap! Amazing.

I'm still thinking about trying to deck a white water boat with skin on frame. I'm building one now but no deck decisions have been made. Other than to wing it somehow.

Sent the link to my eight year old granddaughter, who likes building stuff. She loved it, and requested I send more videos.
