Mark Eckhart does excellent work on Kleppers -- you get what you pay for.

Markus Heise (on the southern shores of Lake Constance, Switzerland) is the 
more or less official replacement skin builder for all Klepper boats that are 
not in current production (Klepper builds only skins for their current 
line-up). Quality and price levels similar to Mark by all accounts. Markus 
will also do excellent custom work on boats that have been out of production 
for decades.

Pouch in Germany will build you skins for any frame that you send them. Since 
they have ongoing skin production for their own boats and thus go through 
large volumes of materials, their prices are often lower than those of the 
custom builders.

What do you need in particular, Red?
