PT Skiff PIKA in Lake Chelan
The owner/builder of the PT Skiff PIKA, recently sent this note with pictures. PIKA runs with an E-Tec 25hp motor. ....
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")

Fillet stick set
Fillet stick set now available. Arrives as 4 sticks connected. You separate them and bevel edges to end up with 8 sizes ranging from 1/2inch to 2 inches. 
$10 + postage. See our site for details. We are including a chisel stick in our set since it is essential for clean filleting!
