Foil kit for the PT Eleven (shown finished)  These are prototypes of the foils we will be offering in kit form. The foil shape (naca 0012) is NC machined from Okoume plywood in 2 halves. We bond the 2 halves together in a vacuum bag and the builder does the finish work. ptwatercraft.comptwatercraft.com

Hey Guys,
We had a great trip up Lake Chelan and the boat performed beautifully!  Fully loaded with 3 people, dog, and gear for 4 days we managed to cover 100 miles and used 8.25 gal of gas and 14oz oil at an average of around 14 Kn. Cheers,  (owner/builder of 'PIKA") PT SKIFF18.5ft PT Skiff
