I have seen them sheeted. In fact I have one now that is light ply back to the back of the cabin area..It has a BIG DROP BOX instead of the windows. The Senior will carry 10 pounds of payload in competitions...If I remember correctly.
If you want to see a funny vid of Mr Bill being dropped from it.

Interesting idea! I lived in Duluth from 1968-1971; I think having a bit more power available would be just about as important; thing is, you will begin to weigh it down with extra sheeting but the sheeting will surely add strength. I think maybe stronger covering would be the solution if you want to make it stronger; maybe I should ask what is your reason for adding extra sheeting in the first place rather than assuming I know why you want to change a perfectly good airplane for landing and taking off of something a little smoother than an angry ocean?
