Lil Guy 5 wide reskin

[SailingTD]

So I have a Little Guy 5 wide, 2005. There is a bubble under the skin right in the middle of the front curve. No leaks, so not sure what caused it. My decals are a bit faded. So....I thought about reskinning the whole thing (top and sides) in aluminum. Has anyone done that with a Little Guy 5 wide? Not sure what it would cost vs. reskin with a replacement sheet. I like the aluminum look, so any thoughts are appreciated.

I thought the early Little Guy's were sheathed with aluminum? What does this have on it? (I know this isn't any help.)

This isn't the Silver Shadow, but just the 5 Wide. Parts (rear curve) are fiberglass.

I haven't skinned a 5-wide for a few years with aluminum. I don't think the tariffs have helped.

Look at Vintage Technologies for the needed trim.
