[QUOTE="Wood_Duck, post: 403361, member: 9599"] I'm in the process of building a jet jon which will involve me grafting part of the jetski into a new alumacraft hull. The rivers I will be running will have some rocks and boulders, nothing giant, but while the boat is going to be flipped doing the graft I was considering ordering some 1/8-1/4" UHMW to glue on the hull. Partially to maybe distribute impacts better along the thin hull and also to help slide on the rocks. Do you guys think this would be a good idea and what would be the best method to actually attach it? And if a feasible idea what would be the best source to get sheets of it? Would I only space it between the ribs, and how would it need to be cut around the intake to work properly? [/QUOTE]
