PT Watercraft Skiff For Sale: (Click photos for larger view)

“deep blue” is an 18′ 6″ center console PT Watercraft skiff, carefully built by her original owner Mark Ramsby in Portland Oregon using stitch-and-glue construction from a precision CNC-cut kit made of 12 full sheets of premium Okoume plywood.  She was first launched in 2015. Mark customized seat tops with mahogany for additional visual elegance.

She is hull #11 of the 16 total PT Skiff design kits from Port Townsend Watercraft. Mark did a superb job of construction and he documented the project in a 32 page build log which will come with the vessel.

Unique Benefits of the PT Skiff

Exceptional Performance & Fuel Efficiency: Capable of 22 knots lightly loaded and 16 knots with four passengers and gear — powered by just 20 HP and burning only 1 GPH.

Narrow Hull for efficiency and smooth ride in a chop.

Ballast System: built-in 32 gallon/256# water ballast system for added stability at rest and underway. Tank can be drained underway or when hauled.

Easy Trailering & Launching: Lightweight design allows towing behind small SUVs or cars, with simple launch and retrieval for single-handed operation.

“deep blue” has been gently used only as a “knock around” skiff and has never been used for fishing on any other harsh uses.

Only 16 PT Skiff kits were sold and it is extremely rare to find one for sale. See designer gallery HERE.
