Default Seaplane covering.

THANKS TO BOTH FLYINWALENDA AND OLIVEDRAB, Both ideas are valid and sound good to me. Packing tape is something NEW to me, sounds like a good way to stop covering from becoming lose and leaking at seams. Yes I am over powering my Sea Dancer as Fred Reese designed plane for .40 to 60 engine I am using a OS 61 FX with 12 or 13 inch 3 blade prop. I did raise engine pylon 1 inch for larger props and to keep water spray down. I am also going to fiberglass hull bottom with 3/4 oz. cloth just to be safe on water tight and hull strength. I also increased aileron width by 1/2 inch and added flaps too. Film will be easy to repair and lot fast to cover.
Any other help out there ??
