All do. The price is generally about half the price of a new boat. Sometimes you can
get by with replacing less than the entire skin. On most boats the hell and deck
are sewn together and can eb replaced individually. I don't know if that's possible
with the new welded Feathercraft hull,s but it is with the older hulls. Ralph
Hoehn can tell us what's possible with Pouch boats.
Klepper used to sell just a deck, or just a hull, but now only sells complete skins.
However, Mark Ekhart at Klepper Service Center/Long Haul sells individual
replacements, rebuilds hulls, and recently started selling custom made hulls that are
significantly cheaper than the Klepper hulls. (My Aerius I is a reconditioned
Klepper hull from his shop on a brand-new frame.)
